What's the advice on breaking in a new engine? From what I've read, ROTELLA diesl oil,, (the older formulation) is recommended as it still has the ZDDP additive.
Are people running ROTELLA all the time?
I came across this list on MiniMania of correct oils:
Oils that may be correct for our cars today:
