I had a friend that worked for the city doing auto maintenance. Did tons of engine rebuilds on the police cars and he swore by Rotella. The fact that it is sold in gallon jugs so they are easy to fill back up to get rid of the old oil is nice too.

That goes for cars too. As I understand it, the metallurgy of auto engines changed in the 80s to be compatible with the mandated lower zinc levels in oil. So I suppose that means if you didn't give up your Bricklin to Cash For Clunkers, it would be wise to run Rotella.
