I've been using Shell Rotella 15w-40 as well, but I am told the formula changed recently, and it now has a significantly lower zinc content. So, I'm searching for the best solution now.

Although I know synthetics are far superior for sheer strength, I have concerns about the slippery stuff in a 5-year old FE. It does tend to find ways to leak better too.
