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.

Rotella just came out with a new formula T, T5 and T6 with the adaptive molecules as part of their new formual.

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.

http://www.jalos.or.jp/onfile/pdf/2009_DEO_Seminar.pdf



Also:

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


http://www.jalos.or.jp/onfile/pdf/2009_DEO_Seminar.pdf


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?

Thanks... Makes sense... with biodiesel becoming more popular and fuel dilution that typically happens with diesels.
