Rotella T6; (A Non A40-spec oil) honest opinion?

Hi All,

I’ve always had excellent results using Rotella T6 on my various other Euro Cars. Has anybody here had any long term exposure to it in their 986?
I’ve always appreciated the Zinc, and detergency of this oil, keeping my various other motors clean, while showing low wear numbers. Also fairly obtainable by me.

It’s not an A40 spec oil. But then I often hear that Driven DT40 isn’t either, and yet also gets praise. Would T6 be alright for our Boxsters? I’m not committing it to be my sole oil choice but it might be nice to use on occasion when available (I use it with other cars).

Car is a 98 Boxster 2.5 with 100k and new IMS and RMS, AOS, also new Cats.

Opinions welcome!
