Title: Re: Hiflo oil filter Post by rl153 on 08/02/12 at 10:06:20 If the price were the same for the rotella and rotella t6 is it better to use the 5-40 rather than the 15-40?Thanks ,serowbot and JOG for your answers.( and everyone else). |

Title: Re: Hiflo oil filter Post by rfw2003 on 08/02/12 at 10:15:14 I don't know how others feel, but myself if the price point was the same I would go for the T6 for the added benefit of the full Syn oil. Plus the lower viscosity of oil before it reaches operating temps means that on startup it will reach all the wear areas quicker then the 15w-40 will. R.F. |

Title: Re: Hiflo oil filter Post by rl153 on 08/02/12 at 10:17:01 that makes sense |
