Hmmmmm
Here is my guess.
You get $20 rebate by mail for getting 3 1 gallon bottles of Rotella.
They are clearing out inventory --- a very short fuse on the dates.
Bet you new Rotella is coming with a CK-4 rating in another 2 months.

What's the story on the CK-4 formula?

CK-4 is the successor to CJ-4, the current latest API standard.
It is being furiously worked on behind the scenes by every oil / additive manufacture.
ETA Fall, 2010.

I can think of one that might not be working so hard as their supposed true synthetic oil isn't even up to CJ-4 spec, but I digress.

Yeah, I usually run MC 15w40, but I think I'll buy the rotella for this next winter. I can't help myself. The $20 rebate is too much for me to pass up.

CK-4, aka ASTM PC-11:
Please go to page 32 of this presentation to see what is tested for oil.

Also:
Please see page 91 for biodiesel and engine oils...

Things are not so simple as to just use biodiesel and there are no issues beside the fuel system.
It directly affects lubrication.
As for what ASTM PC-11 aka CK-4 addresses, the hot button issues are:
- emissions
- biodiesel
I cannot say much more.

Why are you against using a synthetic your 6.0L PSD?
