shell Rottilla t6 -05-40 ma rated

I believe this oil is very good for vfr-the clutch won't slip and this syn cost $30 a gal at Walmart. Castrol rt 05-40 is jasco ma2 which means the clutch will grab a little better about $41 a gal.

 

people have been talking about using that oil here for years....where the hell have you been?

 

well I ran some of this shell t6 in a old tractor and it did very well, so I took a close look at it today because of its super low price. I still don't know how much zinc is it. I am doing to try it in my srt-4 tranny next. It isn't as good as the Castrol rt racing but its a close second maybe. Shell has done a poor job marketing it.:

 

you should post this on the Bob is the oil guy forums.

 

SOW is the oily guy.

 

:tongue2::rofl:I was thinking of getting some zinc additive too-might help burn out the cat that way I get better exhaust flow. Maybe add a little zinc to my tranny too. Oh cancel that idea my Napa Platinum filters too good-I wouldn't want to choke up the super flowing filter. My oil change diid ok 2qts of 10-40, 1 qt of 10-50 and a dash of 05-40 all Castrol rt-jasco M2-the highest motorcycle oil not many are rated M2 including mobil 1 that cost $11 a qt. Castrol cost me about $6 when it was on sale- I am headed to a 400,000+ VFR mile engine except that would take me 200 years.

 

Rotella t6 5-40 is $19.57 a Gal. at Walmart. :eagerness: The honda and Duc both seem to do fine with it, and it makes the cheap bastard in me happy.

Been using this stuff for years. In my Concours and my vfr. Plus there's a $5 rebate till the end of may.

 

There's a two-bit rebate on SOW that lasts forever.

 

I am glad I had a change to test shell oil-it performed outstanding in sup cold winter and it didn't burn any oil at all.

The rotella is a great oil and what i use in all my bikes street and dirt, except the 2 strokes.
It will make your bike and your wallet happy.

 

Sonofinbreeding...LOL

 

BB didn't have a mother, he was born in a test tube that was rejected and the design was never to be used again:laser:

 

I was manufactured on a garage work bench. Left over used parts from a Lada restoration project.

 

I bet those parts were all ready worn out and all rusty, better carry a can of oil around filled with shell 05-40. the shell 05-40 is excellent for cold weather starting, I use 0-40w mobil 1 European blend in my car engine and tranny, the zero part works excellent in cold weather and the 40 is excellent in hot-too bad its no good for motorcycles. Racing Castrol RT syn may have a lot of zinc in it because mobil 1 motorcycle does. When racing is added to the name the oil company is not req to consider the cat and can add a lot of zinc and phosphorus-both very good for engines-but you can over do it-that's why I think a additive might do more harm than good, that you put in your self.:banana:
