you should test with a mechanical gauge.
mine with 10w30 at idle: Stock gauge = 0-5psi, prosport electric = 8psi, mechanical =12-14 psi.

Rotella T6 5w 40 in 7mgte
- Thread starter Zrain25
- Start date
^ this, checked once a year with each plug change. Also mounted a fitting and briaded oil line to move the oil pressure sender under the intake filter. R&R the sender takes minutes..
I've been running rotella T which is 5-w40 for the past 6 years.. walmart for the win lol anyways on my 04 f250 diesel with 07 front end.. beautiful truck by the way Zrain25 mine was a Lariat 6.0 shitty motor but lasted me a while crew cab 4x4. anyways my 04 yamaha r1 . one of them i sold with 80k plus miles. never had one thing go wrong except for my starter due to being old and starting to much it went out.. other than that my wifes 03 solara and all the other cars i had. 93 rx7, civics you name it.. to be honest one of the best oils you can buy.. not to mention the price.

Dude! I thought I was the only guy who drove a PowerStroke and a MKIII Supra lol
lol 99 crew cab 7.3 here too haha. so how about 5-40 t6 rotella in a newly rebuilt 2jz? ive been using castrol gtx 5-30w
No idea I would go with a thinner oil. My supra likes it but it has a 150,000 unknown miles ya know. My new engine when I drop it in will probably not get t6 oil

Been running it in my 1j for about 3 years now. Last couple oil analysis reports seem to suggest that all is well for the most part. I'd recommend changing by the time you have a year on it. I pushed mine for ~1.5 years, and it seems to have gone up a bit on the wear metals, possibly a bit of an upward curve. I.e. if I kept running that oil, it would have gotten worse, faster and faster, the longer I ran that batch of oil.Zrain25;1949287 said:
Kinda hard to say since I've only had 2 changes checked out so far. Should be able to establish a pattern with a couple more years. All in all though, it's a good oil, highly recommend it.
