Re: Stus-List engine oil

I've used Rotella oil for years with good success. I also used Amsoil for a spell when I was driving a lot more for work, but I barely manage 15k/year now, so Rotella T6 5w40 in my Jetta TDI has worked well for 10 years. In my van, which has an older VW IDI turbo diesel, similar in technology to a

One of the biggest reasons an oil "wears out" is that the acids build up and the oil's pH is too low. If you know the starting base number you can track it and predict when it will be "exhausted". I use Amsoil Marine Diesel Oil 10w40. It has a TBN of 12 and I send samples off to be analyzed.
