Not if you call taking crackpot guesses at it, or blaming the first thing that comes to mind to deflect responsibility away from their own shoddy work "knowing what happens to their own product."

No, YOU tell these alleged reputable injector builders to come online and publicly declare Rotella killed their injectors. Or provide a link or cite to such information.

I won't hold my breath.

Until then it didn't happen, except in the imagination of some crackpots spreading Internet rumors.

Did you take pictures by any chance? Or just gonna stick with the "reuputable builder" story?

I'll throw my two cents, i've owned two F-250 a 1999 7.3 & a 2008 6.4, i changed the oil on my 7.3 every 3,000 miles & 5,000 miles on my 6.4. I've used ROTELLA, DEL-VAC, GTX, MOTORCRAFT, & DELO, whichever was on sale & have never had an engine problem. BTW most of the time I used a FRAM oil filter

High Moly/Boron content in Delo 400 LE is beneficial for the Ford HEUI system.. ever wonder why the Rev-X works its miracle? Same additives.. in fact one bottle of Rev-x mixed in with Rotella T would have less than just an oil change of Delo that would have cost FAR less!

No, because it doesn't.

Ever wonder why a first time poster shows up in an oil thread talking about miracle additives?
