Thats exactly what we run is shell rottela
My boss is old school
He knows its going to blow up
He is not cheap
He just dosent belive its making me sick
And just dosent want to miss a load
But that good to now .
When my oil preasure bottoms out
And he tells me to get it changed
I will get where ever to not put shell rotela in it
Getting sick from fumes and being forced to drive

Crankcase fumes are laden with toxins , nasty toxins including high levels of Carbon Monoxide which can make you permanently go to Sleep some night if you idle!!

You are an adult, a free agent. You can do as you please.
There may be some consequences to your choices, but you can not be forced into any action that you don't want to take.
All it takes is saying... NO!!!JReding Thanks this. -
I would refuse to drive it except to the closest open DOT inspection ..

I would start with a simple fix that could be agreeable to both boss and employee and that would be to change the brand of oil used and get away from the smelly rottela and go from there.

Changing the oil won't do it though. That blowby is NASTY smelling. And you CAN'T get rid of that smell.
If he's smoking as bad as mine was.
