Beware the New Rotella.. no more old "T"
Beware the New Rotella.. no more old "T"66 CL77 had no clutch slip and you couldnt MAKE it slip..until oil change with Rotella "T4" 15-40, picked up by accident.. they are phasing out the old "T"
Almost immediately, it slips

Slipping clutch?The manual calls for 30wt non detergent if your average temperature is above 59 degrees F.
If it's on the lower side starting at 59, then use 20wt non detergent, and 10wt if your at 32F. Oil threads generally generate quite a response, so wait and see if you can, as there a few bulbs brighter than I on the forum. Simple oil change might overcome your trouble since you had no trouble before, but the clutch plates may need a washing, I don't know. Or, you can futz with the clutch if you're minded to and see if you get a positive result.
