Rotella USED to be a great oil until the new diesels w/ their new
requirements came out, ie Bluetec w/ 'cats' etc..  They had to pull all the
additives that we want/need out so write the diesel oils off as well.

For an off the shelf readily available dino Valvoline 20/50 Racing is a good
oil.

The M1 Extended life is nice, as is Brad Penn's oil, but they are hard to
come by.  Amsoil, Redline, Lubromoly are also nice synthetics.
