I have never used their syn oil. I have used their dino oil in everything from a lawn mower to a blown small block. I have never had an oil related failure in any engine I have ever built. I see no reason to change. For a buck and a quarter a quart, I will continue to use it.

Thanks for the tips guys. If I could find Mobil 1 MX4T locally, I would keep on using it. But it costs almost 11 bucks to have it shipped, plus the 48.50 for six quarts= 9.91 per quart. That gets spendy especially when I change my oil every few rides because of the very dusty conditions I ride in most days.
I went to the Rotella T web site:
"One negative might be where the engine manufacturer recommends oil meeting JASO requirements. Part of the JASO requirement limits ash content to 1.2%. Ash content of ROTELLA T exceeds this limit. Oil ash contributes to combustion chamber and spark plug deposits.
The ash content of ROTELLA T Synthetic SAE 5W-40 is 1.47%."
I think the Rotella T is out because of the oil ash.

I have decided that I am going with the Amsoil 4 stroke 10W40. It is about 8 bucks a quart, but Amsoil is always easy to come by, at least around here. I would bet the Amsoil and Mobil MX4T are pretty much neck and neck. I read the white paper on the Amsoil on their web site and it matched Mobil in all the key categories.
