I have used it in my boat. I think it is good oil. I have 20 quarts I am going to put in my new rebuilds once the break in period is over.

2 seasons now running in 525 EFIs Pressure holds up real well even after some really long burns I selected it based on zinc content.

Rotella, like most auto products has reduced the levels of zinc.

I've learned, that there is more to a good protecting oil, than just zinc PPM.

The VR1 is a good oil though.

I am biased because I am employed by Ashland Oil, the parent company of Valvoline........but yes, great oil What ever brand you choose, choose an off road oil that has not been molested by the demands of today's automobiles.
