Rotella T6 - F-Series & SuperDuty Diesel Forums

hawkdriver · 09-26-2010, 01:47 PM

Anyone using this exclusively now? Didn't even notice it wasn't the usual T5 stuff till I got home. Any differences noticed at all?

I used the t6 in my 97 and just put it into my new 06. I had no complaints in the 97, so far so good in the 06.

I have been using T6 in the Super Duty and the ATV for awhile now.

No problems with either of them.

Good! Thanks. Getting ready to change it tomorrow finally. Going to change the top-end oil too just to see. Can't hurt anything. I know there are some differing opinions on it.

Well, I changed the top end oil out 4 times. It came out black every time. Dipstick oil was clear as could be throughout the whole process. I'm gonna run it a day and suck some more oil out and see what it looks like. Can't dispute the fact the engine is quieter. Might be just the fact it has fresh oil too!!

subscribed...all ive ever heard is that getting the oil out of there is a joke, but im sure beginning to wonder...

I'll post up this afternoon and let you know what the dipstick oil looks like as well as the top end oil. It ran for over 40 minutes total while I was draining and filling so there was plenty of time to circulate. Oil on the dipstick stayed clean as could be. I used almost a gallon of new oil draining and refilling.
