Understanding Engine Oils: Synthetic vs. Conventional
In the realm of engine oils, the distinctions between synthetic and conventional types are key to optimizing engine performance. Synthetic oils are crafted from more highly refined base oils, which results in fewer impurities and better performance across temperature extremes. They exhibit a higher Viscosity Index (VI), indicating more stable viscosity changes with temperature fluctuations. This stability translates to superior performance at both low and high temperatures, allowing oils like Shell Rotella T6 to maintain better low-temperature pumpability.
Truck Description: This is my one of one hand built 2016 F250 powered by a 2000 7.3L Powerstroke and ZF6 manual transmission. It’s the only manual 2016 super duty in existence and I built it myself in my driveway. I run Rotella T6 5W-40 in it and it works fantastic.
