In fact, they’re formulated with additional anti-wear agents as compared to today’s API SN/GF5 gasoline engine oils (approximately 1200 ppm of zinc in the Rotella versus 800 ppm of zinc in the API SN/GF5 engine oils). This extra added anti-wear is ideal for the flat tappet engine in your Chevy. Hope this info helps! – The Shell Rotella Team
Thank you so much! I was actually planning on buying the 10w/30 or 15w/40 since I live in the hot desert area, in the next couple weeks when I do my oil change! Thanks again for the info!
