I plan on switching over to Shell Rotella T 5W40 Synthetic Oil next Fall. It's good, it's inexpensive and it's readily available. Here's a great web-site that may help you make up your mind: http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Consumables.html#Oil Good luck.   Logged     ---- 2006 Midnight Silverado, MaxFlo Air Kit, Roadhouse Classics 2-1 Pipes: OEM manifold, 190 Main, 37.5 Pilot, Needle (3rd groove, OEM white spacer), Maxmix Pro PMS (2.5 turns out), Accel Pump Duration (1 turn out, nut in front), Float Height (w/carb upside down): 16mm, 43+ MPG   The administrator has disabled public write access. #17235 Akela (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 206 Re:Pro's and con's of rotella 5 Years, 3 Months ago   Big Bear, I had to laugh out loud when I read your comment about using Quaker State ... cause I knew you were joking My dad used to use Quaker State when I was a kid, so when I started driving, I used it in my 69 Rambler. I was scratching my head every time I changed the oil because big clumps of goop would come out with the oil, and it turned black after only 1000 or so miles Then after reading lots of oil bottle lables, I switched to Castrol, and never looked back because its been really good to me in my 4 wheeled vehicles. I'm interested in the oil debate here because I want to switch to something heavier than Yamalube for my next oil change. Right now it looks like its going to be either the Mobil 1 Vtwin, or Rotella T 5W50 Happy Feburary to all!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #17241 RoadieFF (Moderator) Moderator Posts: 2594 Re:Pro's and con's of rotella 5 Years, 3 Months ago   If I remember correctly from what I was told as a youngster (many moons ago), Pennsylvania produced oils (Quaker Stater, Pennzoil, etc.) have a higher parafin content then oils from other places. Could contribute to the &quot;clumps of goop&quot;. Don't know if that's true but it's something that stuck with me for some odd reason.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 4368 Re:Pro's and con's of rotella 5 Years, 3 Months ago   Bought my 2000 Freightliner new, nothing but rottella in it since first change. I just turned 1 million miles in it. only lost a turbo, but thats normal wear. Just put a set of injectors in it and my wrench said everything looks good up top. Only thing wore out is me...ready for an overhaul. I didnt know that some people ran it in v twins... interesting.   Logged     04 MIDNITE SILVERADO   The administrator has disabled public write access.
