Miricle oil additive?

[Ed Kellock]

I use the Rotella non-synth in my V8's.  I also used the synth one
winter.  Can't tell much in such a short time though.  This was
partially a result of my dad using 15W40 in the Mercedes that we had
back in the mid 70's.  He went with the diesel grade oil because we
lived in the desert and he wanted the extra vicosity.  That car ended
up with over 200k on it 20 years later.
