Diesel cars turn a reasonable RPM range -- same range as the Savage.
Rotella got its motorcycle rep running in all sorts of motorcycles that rev a lot more than the Savage does. Hondas and Yamahas and Suzuki in-line fours rev right on up there with the best of them.
We max out at 6,500 rpm in a stock Savage, although I have tested Rotsyn at higher rpms than that in mine and can verify it does jest fine. Here is what my last top end tear down looked like.
Verslagen had Mobil 1 in his crankcase before he began the testing.
He did Rotsyn second and reported that it was "as good as" then when everybody wanted numbers he started bought temperature gauging and started collecting accurate numbers and reporting them. Klotz was the third oil tested, Amisol was the fourth oil tested. He reported the data we all asked him to collect, and you were there with your requests as well.
As a matter of fact I don't think Verslagen or Charon were Rotella fans when this all started out.
Cheap? Is that do you call an award winning world class product that comes in great big jugs (takes 5 gallon jugs to change out a 16 wheeler tractor) that comes without any expensive graphics or marketing cost burdens on top of it?
There is nothing cheap about Rotella T or Rotsyn. Too many top of class awards for you to be saying that.
Now if you are saying I am "cheap" because I buy really great oil for less than half of what you pay for Klotz, well then you 1) pay too much for your oil and 2) have just insulted over half the list with your comments.
Are you guys all "cheap" or are you just smarter than the average Billium bear?
Now, do I admit being cheap? Yep, and proud of it. It is a survival trait that does me good duty in these economic times.

Economic Survival quiz:
Which would you do? Justify your answer in writing.Buy 2 quarts of Klotz for $12.99 each (plus $8.00 shipping of course) and change your oil once for a total of around $30.00
or
Buy one gallon of Rotella T next time you go by the Wal Mart for $11.99 and change your oil for a third the cost and
have enough left over to change it again later for free?
or
Loving the extra protection a synthetic provides, buy a blue gallon jug of Rotella T6 Synthetic for $21.99 and be able to change your oil twice?
