Changed the oil out today for Rotella 15W-40 like I had before. The Valvoline VR1 10W-30 was getting past the rings and leaving blue smoke. I tried out the VR1 because it has high zinc, but it's only made in 10W-30, 20W-50, and straight 30W. After some research it looks like Rotella still currently has about 1200 ppm zinc, which is good. So Rotella it is since my rings are worn and I'm tired of burning oil.

Initial results are positive, haven't seen any blue smoke from inside the car now. We'll see how it goes.
