- Today I changed my oil, Instead of my usual Mobil 1 I opted for Rotella T-6 5W40 synthetic. Many saabists swear by this brand so I'm trying it and will post a review by the next interval. For the filter I used a Fram ultra synthetic. A lot of people hate on Fram but I think this line of synthetic filters deserves to be looked into.
Rotella is the best 👍🏽
I have used the Rotella in the past. But when I read that it was for diesel vehicles I stopped. Thank you for the video
It meets/exceeds all the specs your Saab auto requires. It meets more demanding (in some facets) diesel specs. The only controversial point is that it has slightly more ZDDP (anti-wear) than is currently recommended for newer oils, but most of us view that as a good thing.
Nonsense! 5W-40 is a weight...for gas or diesel.
you should really find out whats eating your oil. valve guides letting oil passed the valve? just saying... it seems like you check your oil though which is good since you have turbocharger. or maybe is this normal for some saabs?
+John Smith had a bad oil pump seal, I later found
Fram lowerrd my oil psi on my ls1 and i changed my filter to mobil 1 it went back up
I got exposure to Shell T6 about 4 years ago, as all my friends used it in there Motorcycles. I didn't like having so many different oils in my garage, so I stopped using Mobile 1 in my 2007 Chevy HHR, and my 2005 Chevy Colorado. I never had a problem with using it. I recently read some threads on the internet, that I should not be using it in my Car Gasoline Engines. I guess the damage is done? I may switch back to Mobile 1 on my next Oil Change for the Car/Truck.
+K. LaBorde I know of lots of people that have used it in petrol engines for long periods of time with no problems
K. LaBorde they make a T6 5-40 that is advertised and rated for diesel and gas. it's advertised as multi vehicle.
I'll probably switch to that for my truck and bikes
any problems with mobile 1?
It's better than most "auto" oils. Research oil specifications and you'll be confident it's fine. It will NOT damage your engine.
