You said the "O" word!..... O.K.,... Some people swear by it.... Some people think it's a sin against nature..... I just switched to it. But I've been known to use regular old 10w-40 car oil too.... Another sin against nature... Let the war begin..... Lock'n"Load boys..........

I've been using Rotella T 15-40 triple protection for the past month with no ill effects. Search the forum and you will find more info on this than Carter has pills. I did and decided on using the Rotella.

Do we have a new player from the Shell Rotella family?

It will likely remain good for more miles than the conventional 15W-40. The syn also gets moving better around the engine when cold.

I forget which Syn Castrol is supposed to be far superiour to any of the Rotella, but I put it in the bike. That was 2 weeks ago, and I've had fair results w/ it,...fair only because I didn't see a 20% increase in gas milage that they said. Maybe I'll drain it, and get my money back.
But like they said, the clutch ain't slippin w/ this expensive oil !
But then, I don't remember it slippin before I changed the oil either. I think I'm confused,........these oil threads always confuse me.
