Hi All.
Even back from my Racing Days, many, many moons ago, we never used any Synthetic Oils. We have always used just Rotella 5W-40.
Today, all of are engines are using Rotella 5W-40 oil, with no problems what so ever. Its good enough for our Motorhomes 460 EFI. Even our Toad, our Honda CR-V. We even went one step further, and its in our Motorhomes Generator. It acturally make our Motorhomes Generator a tad bit quitter, enough so that you can for sure tell the difference.
We towed a 5er with a 1997 F-250 H.D. PSD with our 5th Wheel Trailer. Over 100,000 miles on it with not a problem at all, except for the basic stuff, oil changes, Tires, Battries.
We have never Broken Down, or have ever had a Blow-Out of a Flat Tire. Or any kind of any trouble at all in the 45+ years as RV'ers, that I couldn't fix on the go.
It realy does help to do your "Proventive Maintaince Programs" as they are needed. Take good care of your RV, and your RV will take good care of you.
Working on any of our RV's we have ever had has been a pleasure to work on, since I love to do it, it not work to me.
We have just been lucky to have a place to keep our Motorhome on our Property, and the skills t be able to work on them.
Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill & our 2 YORKIE KIDS.
