And then...
Our engine maker only recommends very specific oils for our engines. Not generic "synthetic" with latest API specs... but instead only some very specific brands and "models".
Not all synthetics need apply, without regard to whether they meet the same latest API weights and specs.
And that's how I came to discover Rotella is sold under a different name elsewhere; the other name is on our MAN approved list.
Mobil has a few synthetics with latest and greatest API specs. Only a few are MAN approved for our engines, a couple of those (I think slightly older versions even with newest API specs) not really easily found anymore.
