Hello everyone, my 2002 Concorde is due for an oil change, and I'm looking for some input on the Shell Rotella T6 engine oil.
My Concorde has a 2.7L engine (yes, I know they're a problem child. No I'm not worried. And yes, I already upgraded to water pump to an aftermarket model with an improved gasket design) with 146 000 kilometers on it. It's spotless inside, runs like a dream, and I'd like to keep it that way. After all, paying a premium for oil is a lot cheaper than buying a new car.
There's been a few mentions on these forums of people using Shell Rotella T6 engine oil, and that's what I planned on going with; until I saw on the jug that it's a diesel oil.
In the past, diesel oils would play havoc with cat converters and as a general rule, weren't recommended for other engine types.
Is that still true with today's oils and engines? I used to run diesel oil in my old Chrysler Cirrus with no trouble, but that could have been a fluke.
If anyone reading this has experience with Rotella T6 oil (or diesel oils in general), their opinions/input would be greatly appreciated.
