I had an 03 Camry from new till 2019. Had 335,000 miles when I sold it. That car got Rotella T6 5w40 since new. I still wonder how long that car would have lasted if I kept it.
Fixed many ls engines with excessive oil burning by switching them to t4 rotella 15w-40. The rotella t4 flavor of it is a fantastic oil. If you're engine has good oil pressure and isnt burning oil then theres probably no need to for it but its not gonna hurt a thing. Gen 3 ls engines arent some super tight tolerance engine, i probably wouldn't put 15-40 in a motor that calls for 0-20 but your 5.3 will not care at all.
He may be using it for the 15w40 weight for noise or lower oil pressure. I ran Rotella in my 94 F150 with the 5.8l gas engine because I bought it with a slight knock. After a while I dropped down to the 10w30 Rotella and ran it for year, lifted mud truck driven daily and in the woods on weekends. It will be fine, just get some clarification on why. I currently run Rotella 10w30 in my 4.2l Envoy.
Mobil 1 ESp is excellent , just changed mine few days ago
Mobil Super 3000 XE 5W30, hat die Dexos2 und kostet online regelmäßig unter 30€ für 5l. Lief bei mir mit dem gleichen Motor jahrelang im Astra.
I've been having my Hybrid oil changes done around 12k ODO miles (~6k ICE miles). Mobil 1 Hybrid full synthetic oil. Blackstone says very little oil contamination at all and additives all still in great shape. In comments, they say I can go longer.
Tried other brands pero Shell pa rin talaga
I only run 5-40 Full Synthetic on my Armada and all my vehicles in the past. I've never had an issue and only changed the oil once a year or whenever 7500 miles hit. As for what brand, Shell Rotella T6 5-40.
I wouldn't consider M1 4T to be the highest quality oil. It's a pretty standard Group III/IV synth blend with a motorcycle on the label.
I run the diesel Rotella T6 5w-40. My catalytic converter decided to start throwing P0420 codes around 58k miles and I spoke to a shop that I am going to have tune my car and one of the techs said that they reformulated T6 a few years ago and it has more zinc in it than it used to and that might have had an effect on my cat and it's early demise.
