Shell ROTELLA® T Synthetic 5W-40 $3.25 qt. or 12.95 gallon

I used to use Mobil 1, but they changed there chemistry and clutch started to slip.
I have been using this oil the last year and have taken the motor apart to change shifter forks and everything looked great.
I have the 40 % springs and no clutch slipping.


Antifreeze should be used to match the temperatures that you live in.
If you only need protection to 30 degrees, dilute to the temp.
The higher the concentration the more heat it will hold.
Heat hurts engine life and horsepower.
