    That just makes me sad. I can no longer pretend that the 'roar' of my engine is echoing creatures from the past..

    Rotella T6 with the oil analysis to show why its pretty much the best bang for the buck.

    Didn't you say you run the T5 on the street, and the T6 for the track car? Really asking, because I thought that's what you said in another recent thread about oil brands.

    I run t5 in the street car because it leaks about 1qt every 300 miles. I could do 10k or so on T6 in the daily with a filter change.

    I run T6 in the turbo car with oil changes every 3-track days.

    Just switched to T6 10w40 from M1 5w30 based on all the great reviews of the T6. Only swapped 2 weeks ago and can't tell any difference. But its a few bucks cheaper and as good or better based upon "research" I have done. Grease monkey's at walmart thought I was crazy asking for the Rotella, and I had to explain to them its not the regular old dino oil for a diesel.
