I think the T6 is what the plain "T" used to be, at least around here. The "T" (used to be 5w-40 full synthetic) became the conventional oil and the full sythetic became labeled T6. Same in other markets?

Yeah that is what they did I just always refer to it as "T" because of how long I have been using it in different things.

Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 10W30. It's amazing, car runs quiet, smooth, and it lasts seemingly forever.

Mobil1 isn't true synthetic read up on it. True synthetics are RedLine, Royal Purple, AMS Oil, Motul and Rotella, to name a few.



I run Rotella synthetic. Never had a problem.

Engine: Castrol Edge 5w-30
Transmission: Amsoil MTF
Differential: Amsoil Severe Gear 75w-90 or 75w-110

There's a guy that tracks in our area than ran a Blackstone Laboratories report on Rotella and it came back with excellent results and minimal wear. Same as my Amsoil report.
