Which Rotella? (There's about 10 of them). Are you running the 5W-40
synthetic or the 15W-40 dino? I use the dino in my tractor - was
thinking about putting the synthetic into my CRF (both sides).

Here's what Shell has to say about Rotella T & motorcycles:

<http://www.shell.com/home/PlainPageServlet?FC=/rotella-en/html/iwgen/a
sk_our_expert/app_askourexpert_faq.html>

Here's another viewpoint on oil & mc use:

<http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Oils1.html>

This seems to come up every 18 months or so. Interesting reading,
anyway. (If you skip to the end, he concludes by saying he uses
Rotella T synthetic in every gas engine he owns, although has good
things to say about other products, including AMSOil & Mobil 1 & the
RT non-syn.)
