Q: I am the original owner of a 1979 FORD 6600 diesel farm tractor with 7730 hrs that has always used conventional oils. Is T6 5W-40 good for this older engine?

4 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi Jomad, Thank you for your interest in Shell Rotella. Based on our database, the engine oil requirement for the NEW HOLLAND incl. FORD 6600 (600 Series) D / DT is an oil meeting the New Holland ESN-M2C121-C specification and with viscosity grade 20W-20 (32°F to 90°F). Rotella T6 5W-40 does not have this specification. Unfortunately, we do not have a 20W-20 product for this requirement.

Great motorcycle oil.

I have ran this for years in my Honda Goldwing. Makes transmission shift smoother than Honda brand oil.

Shell Rotella T6 is the best heavy duty oil on the market. Price point for superior protection attracted my attention back in 2015. I have been through three 6.6L Duramax vehicles since and not one issue with engine wear. From extreme heat to Midwest winters this oil constantly performs.

The Very Best!

a year ago
I am using this in my new John Deere tractor. It flows well in winter making cold starts easy. It’s is resistant to thermal breakdown as I have had this oil in my tractor long enough to see oil consumption is virtually non existent. You spend. Lot of money for a diesel so you want to make darn sure it hold up to hard use can throw at it; even with that, the oil has not changed color. Durability and longevity is what I want in my investment and Rotella will take me there!

Yes, I recommend this product.
