Default Rotellas new formula

Rotella has a new (non-syntheic) formula, do you guys have any thoughts of weather this is better or worse for our bikes?



Thanks,

Tom

I've had good luck using Rotella in anything that has pistons and it "looks" like they are making it better. I hope they keep the cost down though.

The diesel oils are all going to get reformulated in the near future! The add pack (high pressure additives that help protect your integrated transmission!) will have to be downgraded even further than they already are.

All my owner's manuals say to use a motorcycle oil that is API SG/JASO MA (or MB in the engine side of the 450), and Rotella never has been nor will be either of those!
