Is that Rotella T, Rotella T5 Synthetic Blend or Rotella T6 Synthetic? Wally World has the T6 for $21.36 a gallon.

I don't care what you use... something is better than nothing. I don't subscribe to the idea that our Evo's need the latest and greatest, or a specific type of oil. As long as it's not energy conserving and is 40w or above. I happen to be fond of Rotella because it's cheap, it's readily available everywhere, it does a great job, and if I'm in a pinch a 1 gallon jug will leave me a quart and 1/2 to fill up the primary if I don't have any Type F ATF.

I don't know about you goofy twinkie riders.
