Check carefully, Jim.  Rotella's formulation was changed last year.

Send 3 oz. to a lab for a virgin oil analysis and see what comes back
under the columns labeled Zn and Ph.

In fact, there are internet sites (like BITOG) where folks have posted
the lab reports of various oils they have submitted. But notice the date
of the posting. Oil companies tweek their formulations without changing
the name or the label. Only believe your own analysis or one that is
fairly recent. And don't assume it'll still be the same product next
year.

What Brad and Glen said.....



Rotella-T is what the antique bike guys use too.  I still have a few
bottles

of ZDDP additive to use up but when they are gone its Rotella-T for the

Midget and the old bikes.



Cheers!!

Jim
