Sparky-(Admin) 21,339 #51 Posted July 25 Posted these pics elsewhere in the forum about doing my first Rotella oil change…my 14 Magnum in this case. I swear it runs quieter! Is it all in my head from reading all the hype ?? Or could it actually be quieter? The oil coming out was cheap 30w laced with a bit of Marvel Mystery Oil that had maybe 3 hours run time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very possible that its all in your head. Also possible it's quieter. I have an old pushrod V6 in my truck that needs a good valve adjustment and I judge when it's time to change that oil by the way it sounds. It gets real quiet after an oil change and as the oil gets dirty she starts getting all ticky-tapy. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is not in your head. My K341 is super quiet with Rotella and Penn Grade 1 (Brad Penn) and is noticeably quieter in all my other air-cooled engines as well. Perhaps the film strength is higher in those oils. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
