How about the Rotella 15w40 in the White jug? Is that ok to use?
Or, only the Blue jug synthetic?

Some of the white jug stuff I've seen has a diesel rating, some doesn't.  The label tells all!!

Yes what vince said. I haven't seen a RotellaT bottle down in my neck of the woods that wasn't diesel rated. It is something I always check though, because oil mfg places always seem to be changing things.

we get a few flavours of rotella up here, one is rated for heavy equipment and carries a different rating. I run 0W40 in the blue jug, I have quite a few -40 days where I am.
