In my diesel car manuals, I have adapted for use in 10W40~15W40. Can I use this oil?

In my opinion .... probably. But, I would check with my owner's manual. I think this synthetic oil would be fine. I use it in all my motorcycles, and cars / trucks. Porsche recommends oil in this weight range for my Twin Turbo 991.

If you are asking if you can use this Rotella synthetic oil in place of the standard oil mentioned, I would say yes. Check your owners manual to make sure. If you vehicle is under warranty, be careful about what oil you put in it. You do not want to void a warranty by putting the wrong oil in it.

Depends on the make of your car. Is it a VW? Some diesels have special requirements. this oil is mainly used in heavy trucks (class 8). This oil will replace 15w40 standard oil.

5w40 10w40 15w40 is all the same at full operating temperature cold starts will be easier with 5w40 . so for me its safe .

No, don't believe it can be used, as the fuel pressure is much higher for a diesel.

Ok to use provided your owners manual does not indicates your transmission requires motor oil , transmission fluid or GL 4 gear oil. Mobil 1 75w-90 is a gl-5 oil and there is considerable controversy that gl-5 additives may harm soft metals ie brass. Hope this helps.

Yes. I have a Ford 6.0 diesel and I use Slick-50 in that engine. I, even, use Slick-50 in our 3500W Generator, engine. It has about 3700 hours on it and is, still,purring like a kitten. With the generator, I started using Slick-50 on my first oil change: I've been using it, ever since. Hope this helps.

This oil is for use in a lawnmower, generater, anything 4 cycle, I called the company and they told me , this oil performs better the hotter the oil got,and service life is 3x longer on this oil than regular oil, I think it is detergent, Sae 30

This is not designed for use with diesel fuel or to be used with typical diesel injector pressures. Sorry for any confusion.

Red Line web site has a fantastic Application Guide. www.redlineoil.com Put your vehicle in there and it will tell you which of their oils to use and where. I sell alot of their oil. Really believe in their product! Chuck

WD40 is not a good solution for any mechanical parts as it is NOT a lubricant. It will eventually gum up and cause even more issues. Use a good 3 in 1 oil and you'll be golden.

I had the same question. The manual says Shell Rotella 40. I asked the seller on amazon, and they said any 40 weight oil is fine. I have been using Shell Rotella 15W-40 because I could buy it in the liter since the Shell Rotella SAE 40 was only sold in a gallon.

Yes. Just ordered it for that car/engine. Also ordered the only oil on the market that meets the Mopar standard for that engine, Penzoil Ultra European 5w40.

Call Rotella Hot Line! They are a lot of help. All I know is Conventional 15w40 ( White Bottle) is no longer any good for long engine life in personal vehicle. (White) protects your engine to factory spec but It will cause clog all the small oil passages after time. this product is great due to the price, durability, convenience and all climate control (especially in cold weather). I'm in Phx AZ and use all year round even in 120° engine killing heat. No problems even before a coolant flush. Just did one and Temps even lower!

I am not an owner of a Diesel but I have a friend who owns a diesel and from what I know, from reading tons of reviews regarding owners using Rotella T-6 5w-40, in gasoline cars and diesel trucks it's a great oil that meets necessary specs. I use it in all my cars, my Yamaha Virago 1100 motorcycle and even my Piaggio MP3 500 scooter. I have no complaints and I am very happy with this oil.

This is a 4-cycle engine, not a 2-cycle.That means no mixing oil with gas---you fill the oil pan like you do with your car.Instructions and a funnel are included. You use regular car oil--there is a chart for oil weight vs. temperatures.Cheap 10w30 is good for most purposes. I used a 5w40 synthetic oil because we are most likely to lose power in the winter, when its below freezing.

Yes, you can use any synthetic oil designed for this purpose. Never use oils from hydrocarbons.

Yep. I have used it for 80W-90 and 75W-140 gear oils as well as transmission fluid.

http://www.redlineoil.com/application.aspxRedline has this great feature. Just enter your car information and it'll tell you which oils you can use and what they are used for. As for oil capacity your owner's manual should have that. Or a google search (I can't ssearch for you since I don't know the year nor what you're doing).

This should work with any synthetic motor oil. I've used it with Mobil 1 as well as Castrol.
