I'd like to see that information also. My Brother's wrecker fleet uses
Rotella, my Dad has used it in his 18 wheelers for hundreds of thousands of
miles and I have used it in all of my diesel engines for years and none of
us has ever had a problem with bearings or anything else. We also use X1R
additive in all of our engines with wonderful results. I have to highly
recommend both.
Best Regards,
Ed
