Re:Oil again 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
Try any truckstop for the Shell oil your asking about, I never did see it at my Wally World, on an oil filter, I use a permanent K&P engineering oil filter. Priceless, but Prior to that only use a Chrome Amsoil or Wally has a Mobile One M1 110 that fits nicely and is super high quality going at about $10. Part stores may also have it, it's designed to go along with Mobile one's extended oil drain intervals, much like Amsoil.

Re:Oil again 2 Years, 2 Months ago  
Hey Guys, was in Wal*Mart yesterday and saw Shell Rotella T 5w-40 Synthetic in a new 4 qt. bottle, and guess what was on the back?

It said it met JASO requirements!

You read it here first!

I need to do an oil change. I used to use Rotella 5-40 synthetic from wally world, but they don't seem to carry it anymore (2 different stores). Anyone try supertech synthetic... is it safe. Looking for a synthetic that isn't gourmet motorcycle oil; but is quality oil that will offer decent protection.

Also, been having bad luck finding a supertech filter. I have a checker and autozone near me. I've used K&N before. Of course I can find Fram... but I've heard bad things about them from you folks any decent alternatives from autozone or checker?


Hi I work for Checker/ Oreilly. Not sure if the Checker near you has converted
yet but at my store I carry the Wix filter for the Roadie and others. I also
carry Royal purple mc20w-50, Mobil 1 20w-50 v-twin and Rotella 5w-40 synthetic in the gallon.
The mgr should be able to load it in their system and carry it for you.
Hope this helps,
Chris
