[s-cars] List Wisdom Sought - M1 or Rotella T6, or does it matter (no flame wars, please)

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

Let me quantify "happy with Rotella" a little bit:

'98 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 330k miles.  I've never even had a head off of it, still runs fine.  I bought the car used with 90k miles on it.  It was a lease vehicle that likely had poor maintenance for those first 90k miles.

Multiple Audis with 250k-ish miles with Rotella.  Current Stage 3 '01 S4 with 200k miles on it - pretty hard use/abuse.

I use it in everything I own, including a 930 turbo and a Kawasaki sport bike.

I also like the fact that they don't play marketing games with their products.  It is, and always has been a 100% synthetic product.

Switched over to Rotella T6 for my TDIs a while back, been very happy. Waiting 
for the Lubricheck www.lubricheck.com to arrive so I can quantify "happy". TDI 
Club forums are littered with "happy with Rotella T6" posts, virtually all 
anecdotal.

Rotella T6 is advertised as completely synthetic, isn't M1 now a blend of 
synthetic on a dino base? Without empirical data, not sure how big a deal that 
is, or even if I'm right...
