i thought that the synthetic oil for my car was expensive, but one of my buddies who runs a 6.4l powerstroke buys shell rotella t6 oil... usually runs about $25-28 a gallon, seen it as low as $19. not too crazy, but the thing is, those diesels take around 5 gallons of oil.
yes. FIVE. FUCKING. GALLONS. :OIf you were arrested for being a good mechanic, would there be enough evidence to convict you?

The Ford 6.4L Diesel Holds 15 quarts with the big ass filter thats 3 gallons and 3 quarts. NOT 5 FUCKING GALLONS None of the Pick up truck diesels have ever held 5 gallons, IIRC out of all of them fords have traditionally had the highest oil fill capacity and they generally have ranged for 12-15 quarts across all their diesel variantsLast edited by mrsleeve; 04-08-2014, 12:30 PM.Originally posted by FusionIf a car is the epitome of freedom, than an electric car is house arrest with your wife titty fucking your next door neighbor.

Interesting. Why, then, do most 'race' motors, in reality, run 0W-x oils then??

I mainly posted it for the chart at the end with the zinc and phosphate numbers. If you are curious about why you should run x oil in what car, call them up.
I am running VR1 20-50 because both them and my engine builder told me to. Countless 8500+ rpm shifts and my motor is still good, and my turbo still has no shaft play running 35psi. (this is all in my talon not an e30, although my room mate does run VR1 20-50 in his s52 powered e30.
