    Been using Mistyk oil for the past 3 yrs no problems. Want to switch over to Rotella or Delo because they are easier to find at stores. Mistyk oil only found at dealer (peterbilt, kenworth) whats better for a c15 accert engine. If yall have used this oils will appreciate yalls feedback.

    Its just oil. So long as it meets the manufacturer's standards I wouldn't worry about it.

    I'd stay away from t6. Its too thin.

    Just a year. Sure there'll be no problems. Come 400k or so miles you'll see significant wear
