Questions & Answers
TDi's have always had it since I've owned them. Three of my cars have been given away my '96 Passat that I gave away after 397K miles, my '98 Jetta that I gave to a family member who needed a car after 300K, and my '04 Golf which I used daily until recently retiring. Although the car is well-worn, the engine still runs great after 298K miles and I am now using it in retirement as a backup for a 2000 TDi Beetle that has just been broken in with 198K miles. Also, did I mention that all four of them were diesels with oil changes every 10,000 miles? From my small lawn mower to my lawn tractor to my portable generator, I also use the oil in every gasoline engine I own. This should be of some help
I do have that in my possession.
If you are not sure, inquire at the service center where you bought it. A 2014 Ram Ecodiesel was delivered to me that was using Pennzoil before it switched to Shell. Nonetheless, I am not sure to which vehicles the changes apply.
Having a vehicle this old would be a bad idea to run full sync. There is a high probability of leakage from the seals. For your vehicle, I would recommend using a standard conventional oil in the weight prescribed by your vehicle manufacturer. If your Ford is rebuilt with new seals and gaskets installed, any of the modern conventional oils would work fine in it. If it has been rebuilt with synthetic oils, I would suggest you use them. Please move on

I switched to this Shell Rotella T6 oil after I discovered the oil was leaking more between oil changes when I was using Mobil1.

I've started using this and have definitely noticed less oil usage since using it.
Although it's marketed as a "HEAVY DUTY DIESEL OIL" but does not ignite as well. Those packages are merely ADDITIVE PACKAGES that are added to this motor oil.

There are only one or two oils that I'd recommend, the German Castrol aka GC, which are oils made in Germany and are far superior to the Castrol oils we get here (I have confirmed that those formulations are different from what we get from Castrol GMBH). The best fluids for the best cars belong to Europe, while here we have to settle for less. LOL at Autozone.

issue is not with the oil itself, but with Amazon's misleading listing of the product. While filling out the rebate form, I see that the rebate for this product is not applicable. After purchasing it as seen on the Amazon website with the $14 rebate, I had to return it.
