Just FYI
Rotella T-6 is now JASO-MA Certified ( "The Japanese Automotive Standards Organization." )

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_Rotella_T


Now I have always used Amsoil and love it but 40.00 gal is getting old

Was in Walmart today and they have Some Fram oil filters for bikes and
Rotella T6 5-40 Full Syn for 19.50 gal

This is good news for those who like Rotella and change oil often.

Id pass on the fram filters.
Its nice using the same oil for every vehicle. No more notes/special trips etc.

I've been running the 5w40 rotella in my bike for awhile now and no problems, no weird noises, and shifts fine.

Rotella got really good reviews on a third party oil test I read, although Amsoil was at the top.

Park your bike in the surf on the gulf side, oil is free there. :(
