Engine oil question

F2036 said:

To start with, I have a B1700 TLB, a Z724X KW, a L3800, a BX1850, and a RTV400.
I would like to use only one brand, wt. oil in all of these if possible.
I have used Shell Rotella oil for a number of years, could I switch to using T6 synthetic 5-40 or 10-40 in all of these and be okay???

Thanks, Jim

Yes use the T6 in everything.

In your neck of the woods, which is rather cold this week - the T6 will do very well, the lower viscosity will help tremendously on the cold start ups, and the synthetic part of the equation will simply outlast the non synthetic oil of the past.

Use the 5w-40 version - which you should be able to pick up at WallyWorld for right at 20 bucks a gallon.
