    How is the reputation or feed back on top 1 oil? Planning to use this on my next oil change.

    can you also give us any DIY tip on a oil catch can?

    TIA
    Rotella dino or T6 sythetic if you can get it there, To me is some of the best oil out there, it always comes back great on EOA for wear protection.

    Shell is marketing their new CJ-4/SM oil as "Triple Protection," meaning it provides enhanced qualities for engine wear, soot control and engine cleanliness. Shell's Rotella website indicates that on-road testing confirms the new Triple Protection technology produces better anti-wear characteristics than their existing CI-4+ rated Rotella oil. This is achieved despite a lower zinc and phosphorus additive level as called for by the API CJ-4 specification. (The 15W-40 Rotella T with Triple Protection oil has approximately 1200 ppm of zinc and 1100 ppm phosphorus at the time of manufacture.

    Rotella is ment for Fleet service vehicles therefor offers higher protection, I have a turbo diesel vehicle there, my not so little Nissan Elgrand and I love the thing and since they are rare I want to keep it running for years to come even when I get a second vehicle when I get back there.

    As far as a oil catch can, (one of the most important mods you'll ever do on a diesel heck even on a gas vehicle) It's simple. You would be surprised how much oil gets reciculated back into your intake manifold, it fouls things like sensors as well.

    Here's a few sites to give you a ideal of how to make one.

    I use a air compressor one myself, But if you want it to be super efficient add a piece of steel wool or foam, you will catch much more than with the little filter that comes with it. I removed min and stuck in a block of foam.

    I have been making these for friends here out of inline water strainers, They actually seem the best. Just put some steel wool and foam and it works like a champ, plus cost about 15USD total. These to me are the best to use plus they look good under the hood. You could add a drain at the bottom but I just unscrew them and empty it. Just add your hose barb fittings and your ready to role. These have a 100 mesh filter already in them.
