[Vwdiesel] Re: [Audi-VW-Diesels] Rotella Synthetic oil, cheaper now!

[Karl M]

Oh, but it most certainly is a true synthetic. It's just recently been
introduced, Rotella as mentioned in your findings is most likely the 15W40
dino oil that's been around for ages. My findings rate this new synthetic
oil on par with Delvac 1. If it wasn't, I would be replacing turbos every
week with the abuse mine sees.

Karl,
I went over to Fred's TDI forums and plugged in "Rotella".  It looks
like this stuff is not a true synthetic but a Group III oil.  While
the Wally World special at $12.83 may be good for a diesel, it's over
priced.
