Is the motor broken in yet?

Frmrbob · 01-04-2013, 08:22 PM

Cobb ended up doing a motor break in on the dyno just before it got up her but I've put about 500 miles on it so far just want to be safe with this one lol

Dominator · 01-04-2013, 08:26 PM

I've been using Rotella T6 in the last 2 oil changes. It seems to work well for our motors. It's intended for diesel engines, but the synthetic properties are really good.

I don't know anything about breaking in a built motor, but I switched to Rotella T6 last year after a fair amount of research. Seems to be good stuff.

Lol Dom beat me to it.

I should add that it's also probably the cheapest synthetic you can buy at $20 per gallon at wallmart.

Wait till you have a couple thousand miles on the motor before synthetic. You want to set the seals really well before. Just use any high quality oil and change it as much as possible to break in.

Frmrbob · 01-04-2013, 08:29 PM

Lol where can I pick some up I guess or do the quick services have that in stock

I edited, but wallmart. From what Caleb said it sounds like you might not want to yet though.

Frmrbob · 01-04-2013, 08:38 PM

Valvoline is what's In there right now wondering if i should just stick with that

Frmrbob · 01-04-2013, 08:41 PM

Still been having some issues I think with the knock sum cyl 4 it's reading about 200+ but a lot of the forms I've been reading are saying that it's normal for that on are car due to where the aerators located at

Dominator · 01-04-2013, 08:47 PM

The Rotella comes in 4-quart jugs. Not the usual 5-quart. So you will need to pick up 2 jugs for the first oil change, then you'll have enough to fill it to the recommended capacity.

As for the break-in period and duration of using conventional oil, you should look into that some more.

Frmrbob · 01-04-2013, 08:50 PM

Ya I've been looking all over but can't seem to find anything out I might just wait and call cobb tomorrow see what they recommend using for the full breakin

Dominator · 01-04-2013, 09:00 PM

That's a good idea.

cosseywrx · 01-04-2013, 09:42 PM

My car does 5 qts now!

Some Wal-Mart locations carry Rotella T-6 in the one quart bottles. Mid-town doesn't but Wasilla does but I know you're not near them. Look on your stores shelf.

You could save $15 or have 4 extra quarts.

I've been using it in my FSXT for several years and also in my Gold Wing.

tribalwrx · 01-04-2013, 10:36 PM

Walmart by the dimond center carries the T6 in quarts

LiLpNoY · 01-04-2013, 11:21 PM

ER does, just seem have to problems keeping them in stock

Frmrbob · 01-05-2013, 01:50 PM

Well talked to cobb they said rotella t6 will work for this oil change so rotella it is

P3Auto · 01-05-2013, 09:20 PM

Make sure you communicate this sort of stuff to your builder and tuner. Easy fix now can turn into another build if you wait until later.
