Good bye Shell Rotella

[brooks379]

Unless I'm missing something...After using Shell Rotella oil's since the early 80's I just returned a case of Rotella of T-6 full synthetic for a case of Motorcraft oil for my 6.7 Powerstroke. Seems everything I could find said DO NOT put any oil in your 6.7 that Ford has not approved and Shell CK-4 T-6 isn't approved by them. These new Super Duty's cost way to much for me to think I know more than they do so I'm switching oil after 40 years of using Rotella oils.

I might have to watch it again but I don't remember seeing anything where they were selling additives. What additives and oil were they selling ? I thought they were just warning people about the wear they were seeing in their test using the new CK-4

After watching the video that was posted a few pages back I hope they put something new in T - 6 because that clip sure showed a lot of wear on the parts they were testing. Maybe Shell picked up the tab for the FO MO CO CEO to go on an around the world trip with his family and WALLA T - 6 is approved. lol

do you mean the video produced by people who sell additives or their oil to fix the so called problem?

Thanks for the link. I was looking for a little more info on what is making the difference now in Shell T - 6 oil. Last week it was not acceptable in a Powerstroke 6.7 and this week it is.
