thanks.

Non-synthetic I would go with Shell Rotella T, my father-in-law is an ASE certified mechanic and would tear down and rebuild engines. He ran across an engine that had nothing but Shell Rotella T used in it and it was very clean. On the other hand he hand there was also one that used non-synthetic Castrol and it was gummed up.
