Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

I've been using Shell Rotella T6 5w40. I do have some Shell Rotella Gas Truck, but it's only 5w30. It would probably be ok when cold but I'm afraid it would separate and float on the top of the 5w40 when hot. :shock: First time hearing that oil will separate when hot. It won't. I was trying out-abs...

The only generic brand I've used has been StopTech. I consider StopTech and R1 Concept generics. They groan really lo...
