Now that I’m well beyond 200K miles, I’ve switched to Rotella T5 15w-40.
And I’ve noticed reduced oil consumption.
I agree, I like 15W-40 verses the thinner weight oils. I run 15W-40 Royal Purple in my Dodge Cummins.
My Jeep never uses any oil, but I like the added protection of the heavier weights especially in our part of the country where it gets so HOT.
Rotella T5 15w-40 is a blend, it is not a
full synthetic oil.
Rotella T6 15w-40 is a full synthetic oil.
Currently Red Line and Royal Purple both have Full Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel engine oils, but they are not cheap.
As to the Liquimoly, sorry not familiar with European rating systems and no one in my area stocks it anyway. Don't believe they have a 15W-40 anyway.
Got to stick with the rating system I have used and understood for over 40 years.
