Wow, thank you for your used oil analysis information! You've confirmed my hunch that Shell Rotella T 5w40 synthetic is one of the best oil options for the B2x4 engines in the USA. I'm running Mobil 1 0w40, a very good synthetic with a high base number (12.4) but with zinc and phosphorus too far below 1200 parts per million for comfort. I think the synthetic Rotella T has a more robust additive package - 12.5 total base number, 1249 ppm of phosphorus and 1403 ppm of zinc.
Two questions: What was your oil change interval for the Rotella? How well did the Rotella T additive package hold up, particularly zinc and phosphorus levels and the total base number?
