Synthetic Oil

Burla said:

It's not just the moly, it's across the board not redline. And yes metals have a useful life, I doubt moly is different. An example you might want to look at is calcium, at the end of a oci it is just about useless but the level is still read by the machine that reads uoa's. Even if moly was "worn" to be less effective, you would still see that level. Not only are all the levels off, the magnesium level is high compared to zero, redline doesn't even use magnesium, there is only hints of mag in redline uoa's.

The fact is across the board it isn't redline, there is not much more to say on it.

SHELL ROTELLA T6 FULL SYNTHETIC DIESEL OIL

It doesn't mean you can't use it in a car, but it is technically a diesel oil. Read the page on t6, the oil was designed to battle low ash and soot as well things that happen in modern diesels. Many people use it in cars and motor cycles and other stuff as well. Do you see any Ram specs on your page?

I’m assuming that aluminum is the culprit of my piston slap on wArmup ... hopefully it levels out [emoji120]
