Rotella T4 oil replaces Rotella T?
06/11/19 at 16:07:31
 
I have a 2015 S40 and have been using the dino non-synthetic Rotella T oil as recommended on the Savage website.  Shell is apparently no longer selling Rotella T.  I believe that it has been replaced with Rotella T4 ... and would be the equivalent oil to use replacing the Rotella T.  Hope you can confirm this.  

Thanks.

Use Rotella T6. Oil is cheap engines are not, if there is just the tiniest chance that T6 is better, use it.

T4 is the new T, just make sure it says JASO MA on the back whether its T4 or T6 and you're good to go.

Sometimes the containers do not list JASO MA/MA2 so you must visit the website to confirm:  https://rotella.shell.com/en_us/products/conventional-motor-oil/rotella-triple-p

Really appreciate the input.  The only thing left now is to pick up the oil ... and do the hard work ... the oil change!

Thanks,

I use the new T4 and have for the last year. No issues.

I change my oil frequently so the T6 is no real benefit to me, but I would use T6 if I went excessive periods between my changes.
