Serowbot, do you use rotella t-6?

I use Shell Rotella T (the dino stuff),..
The synth is great, but I'm too cheap to buy it...

I have been changing every 2k,.. but I think I'll go to 3k from now on...
Again,.. 'cause I'm cheap,.. but I think it'll go 3k without any harm...

PS... and now's when everybody tells me I''m wrong...
Go ahead,.. lemme' have it... Grin

I just wondered if you could get something that fits at Wally World or Autozone etc.
Maybe lawn tractor parts?

Nupe,.. not that I know of...
It's usually in stock in independent bikes shops though,.. 'cause it fits several different models...

My favorite local shop here is CSA (Cycles,Skis, ATV's...)... Tucson...
I try to do all my local buying at the same shop, so they know me by name... You can get better deals that way,... and keep a local guy in business...

ralfyguy I work for a large mower/small engine dealership. I checked our oil filter stock(all the main engine manufacturers) and found nothing even close to matching our filter.
