Go ahead and abuse me

I have 5 gallons of Rotella Syn 5-40 that I stockpiled when I had my G2. I have offered it cheap to the other CTD owners here but they are hoping I will give it away. It is CH-4 rated and the latest and greatest is CI-4, which is what the G3s call for.

On one shoulder the little angel guy says " you are being too cheap, after all this is a $30K rig, and you want to take a chance on ruining it with $50 of oil? - Doah! No brainer!"

On the other shoulder the little devil guy says "You won't be running hard, hot, or towing. The C-I is over engineered for the EPA 05 specs and engines and you are in a non-EPA 04. C-H is fine for the next couple of changes. Winter is coming on - go ahead and use it up!"
