Does anyone have any reliable facts on whether using synthetic oils in diesel engines is a good thing? I'm fixing to perform an oil change and would like to use synthetic if it's better than regular oil. I use synthetic in my gas engines, but the guy who sold me my Bird said it was not good in diesel engines. Unfortunately, I can't remember why he said it was bad. Any help appreciated...Henry F.

I asked My CAT Dealer and he said said to use Rotella T. That is what they use in new and Rebuilt engines at their shop.

Is Rotella a synthetic oil? If not, has he considered synthetic and what are his reasons for not using it? Thanmks....Henry Claeys at claeys@rgv.net
