I don't get it? I thought cylinder washdown was due to running rich / too many cold starts and the fuel dilutes the oil that is on the cylinder walls. From what I understand, Rotella is API SL/SJ/SH rated for use in gasoline engines as well was diesel engines. I searched around and could find only one case where Rotella was only thought to be the cause of cylinder washdown, never proven. On top of that, many of the turbo subie guys also run this oil with no problems... unless there's something I missed?

I made a thread about it on BITOG and had nothing but praise for using the stuff on turbine vehicles and pushrod motor guys running flat tappet camshafts. |

mmm.. i used to work @ a factory that was outsourced to make fram filters... after making quite a few batches myself... i wouldn't exactly use them. i've always sticked to mobil1.
basically what i did before i got promoted was arrange the paper, clip it, then stick it in glue... then play with the paper BY HAND to make it space out evenly, then load it up to get cured. after that, just load em up, and ship em out o.O this was when i was a senior in HS so... about 4 years ago. i guess the price really reflects quality in this case. |

Last time I had a Fram filter it was clogged.
Not so fun having to take out the oil filter, shaking and blowing it out right when I got off the night shift. Oil on lips is not cool. I stick to Mobil 1 now. Although, I still use Castrol GTX on my old ass Celica though, shit runs like a champ, LOL. |

Pure one filter with Castrol GTX 10w-40 for me. Cheap and has always worked great on my Nissans.
My BMW on the other hand uses stupid Castrol TWS 10W-60 at $12/qt only sold at the dealership. Ugh. Hello $90 oil changes...
