C-15 can it run on synthetic oil?

I've run T-6 Rotella 5w-40 in my C-15 for 5 years , no problems.....




ps welcome....

 

If you are considering synthetic, I would recommend Schaeffer 9000 5w40 full synthetic. A very high quality oil. And I can get it for less than $20 a gallon when I get a drum of it, it is delivered FREE to my home, and they also throw in free oil sample kits with it. All you have to order is $300 worth to get in on the free shipping thing. Even if you ordered in smaller quantities than a 55 drum like I do, a couple of oil changes worth of oil will take you over the $300 threshold for free shipping. If you take a look at oil samples results that get posted at the BITOG website, you will find that Schaeffer really shines. The 9000 5w40 has a pour point of -42F, so it would work quite well for your cold country running.

Umm I would recommend against making the switch if that engine has alot of miles on it. If you do your most likely going to be leaking oil all over the place.

 

Only because the synthetic oil ill clean out the inside of the engine. Sometimes the only thing keeping the engine from leaking oil is all the crud that has built up.......and the engine was running Rotella

 

Right. Synthetic will not create leaks. It will expose leaks that would have been there already if the engine wasn't so crudded up with sludge and goop around the seals. Synthetics usually have a very robust additive package that will tend to clean out deposits. If the engine was well taken care of, and is clean inside, then synthetic will not change a thing and the old wive's tale about synthetics will remain that....an old wive's tale.

 

well find me a 2006 running regular oil that is "clean"
so creating leaks or exposing leaks is semantics
just another old wife

 

This is an interesting video.....

In all my research Schaeffer is the only company that I have found that sells a true synthetic that is not blended with group 3 oils. Some people that use amsoil think it's a pure synthetic but its only a blend of cheaper mineral base oils with synthetic additives it's okay if you change you oil regularly but not for long term changes with a bypass filter, I just find it weird how with the internet people don't do a little research..............Just saying..
