Since we're talking about oil, I'd like to tap the knowledge of the members here. I'm seeing a lot of posts about Rotella but I've been running this. How does it compare and should I switch?
https://mobiloil.com/en/motor-oils/mobil-1/mobil-1-4t-motorcycle-oil Rotella would be a better choice IMO
first, racing oil, real racing oil, is only inteneded for short term use
Second, rotella has a fair bit of zinc, or zddp in it, which is good for flat tappet engines
Most cycle oils these days have very little of this lubricant, id any
strike that, it looks as though that oil does have ZDDP levels high enough for a savage
so if you don't mind the price, it's fine
