We used Rotella in the small Detroit Diesel engines at work and I was told that this was the only oil to use in the smaller DD motors because the oil was formulated for 2 stroke diesel engines. For the 4 stroke diesel engines we used Rimula (sp?).
Are you sure it is Rotella everyone is using?
They don't make those engines anymore, they won't pass emissions but for the application we used them for they were perfect, a 3 cyl DD would kick the crap outta a Deutz 6 or JD turbo 6.
I always wonder when I see these threads if the oil is Rotella and if Rotella is still a 2 stroke oil and if it is a 2 stroke oil are these the properties that makes it better? I'm not convinced if it is better or not but I will have to read up on this a bit, the turbo 996 is on the top of my list for my next daily driver. Also never read about the noise at idle, I looked at 1 high mileage turbo and never noticed any noise but there was probably a lot of things I didn't notice.
