You have a point - and I'll be watching it closely - but this is a traditional oil that has a synthetic additive package - in effect a hybrid oil, not as likely to weep as a fully synthetic oil. Unfortunately, I can't come up with Rotella 10w40 anywhere - I'm wondering if the product has been discontinued. Talked to a local garage yesterday, said he hasn't sold a quart of 10w40 in three years. Cars have gone to 5w20, 10w30, 5w30 etc. The times they are a changin' -Joey
