Test report Shell Rotella 15W/40
This is based on Victory recommending a 2500 mile oil change for my year and model.
As you can see I can and will go much longer next time. I'll send in the next sample at 5000 miles. Rotella T is just a little over $3.00 a qt. and tested great!!! I used the factory filter.

I started sending mine in thanks to Vindex's thread down the street. Based on what I saw, I'll never worry about oil again. Use the grade specified, change it when the manual says to, make sure the level is correct. That's it.

Not a big fan of Rotella T.
Hell, I won't even run it in my diesel powered snow shovel.

What do you run in your snow shovel? I run Valvoline, with no problems.

I fear sitting in 100 F heat in traffic, no where to get out, engine near toast. That's why I run synthetic.

4 qts of Rotella T 15w-40 and 2 qts of Rotella T6 5w-40
The Vegas has a 6 qt capacity. Another great report. I'm running all 5w-40 synthetic Rotella T6 now. Got it on sale for $20.00 a jug. Love it!!! even with the cost of this report I'm ahead. I'm going to send one more sample in of the T6 at 5000 miles to see and then just ride.

Any explanation for the steady wear metal trend?
In any case. I'd be interested in the source for them this far in. If i see that at work after a change i'll run a ferrogram looking for stuff the ICP missed. If the ferrogram is too pricey, maybe they can run a WPC (wear particle concentration) or particle count for cheap. I'd lean to particle count. -+-*&$&#*#- Sent from my self repaired, salvaged Droid X. Cause I got skills. Minor ones,but still...
