Motorcycle is a Honda ST1300 with 13000 miles on it. Have used the Rotella Synthetic, ostensibly advertised for diesel engines, but without the "high efficiency" additives, it works very well with my motorcycle. Clutch is just as good as new, and the engine uses no oil. To boot, the container has four quarts in it, and that just fills the ST. The Amsoil salesman stated that there is now no zirconium in Rotella T synthetic, but in my opinion there is a limit to the addition of trace elements to motor oil, and since the synthetic is a superior lubricant that will not carmelize, it is plenty adequate for everything except maybe flat out racing.
I use this oil in the last 3 Goldwing motorcycles I have owned. I change oil every 5,000 miles. The oil has at least 5,000 miles remaining on it when drained. I am sure I could go another 5,000, but it has become a habit to change at those intervals.
This oil is excellent ! Have used it and continue to use it in all my Subi's (Subarus) with every oil change. I have owned 3 of them ! It provides the protection required by these high performance engines and more. Keep my engines run smoothly and clean ! Excellent choice and can't beat the price !
Did some research and found out that this oil contains the additives of older style oils of the 60 and 70's! So it protects the older engines with the type of parts that the newer oils don't necessarily cover. Put it in my old Jeep Cherokee and notice a much quieter running machine with a more consistent oil pressure. We will see how things work out after another 1000 miles or so on this batch. And I'm changing over all the oils in my 4 other vehicle to this also!
I use this oil in my car's GDI engine and I know several people who love using it in their high performance Subaru engines like that of the STi, WRX, and Forester XT. It just doesn't shear like other 5W-30 oils often do. I am very happy that Shell offers this product but it is very difficult to find in stores and usually online retailers offer it at a more premium price. I hope it is made more commonly available in the future!
And if you take advantage of the oils ability to take care of your engine for extended oil change periods, it is the most economical. Buy oil filters designed specifically for synthetic oil and extended oil change periods and you can safely change oil every 10,000 miles. If you install a bypass oil filter in addition to your regular spin on filter you can extend your oil change periods even further. On my truck and car I change the element in my bypass filter every 5000 miles. I change my spin on filter every 10,000 miles. I also send a small sample of my oil to an oil testing lab at regular intervals to determine if I need to change oil and to determine the health of my engine. I have purposely not endorsed any products other than this oil so you can do your own research.
i know this is oil for diesel engines, but a lot of owners with turbo gasoline cars such as Subaru WRX and STi's use it for their cars. I picked it up because I drive a Nissan 300ZX and fellow 300ZX drivers on forums were recommending this oil over Royal Purple, AMSoil, Mobil1, and all other full synthetic oil. I tried it out because Royal Purple was burning to quickly and after driving a while, my oil dipstick still shows clean oil on it!
Iv ran a few different oils in my race bikes and ever since the switch from A recommendation from my father that has a gold wing with 90,000 miles no issues my race engines show very very minimal wear and tear in between seasons
This oil does exactely what its supposed to do! Engine is quieter, runs smoother, and stays cooler. Unfortunately for me, my car calls for 5w30 and this is 5w40, thus my avg. mileage, after three tank refill periods, did go down by 1 mpg. (1995 Buick Roadmaster 350/Lt1 w/34000, yes only 34,000 miles). Combo city/hwy 15 mpg to 14 mpg. Oh yea, Walmart will probably be the best price around, however they sell it higher in the stores than online (and they will not honor/price match any online prices or ads, even if you choose the ads for that particular store). So, do their online ship to store option, you will have to pay online but at least you get the discounted price. Plus go to the Shell Rotella site and sometimes they offer a $5 mail in rebate offer to, makes it 14.22 a gallon, not bad!
After reading several reviews regarding using this oil in my motorcycle, I'm glad I purchased this product. Rotella T6 is rated for motorcycles, and is an unknown gem for everyone who wants to run a full synthetic in their motorcycle and don't want to pay some of the sky high prices for full synthetics. Great buy, will be using this product in the future.
