Is this the right Rotella, assuming I wanted (which I do) to stick with gen-u-ine dinosaur oil?


Wally world had too many choices, and I keep forgetting to write down what you guys recommend. D'oh!

 

Hey:

Yes, that will work.

Dub

 

Yep also available in 5 GAL buckets at TSC

I actually use bulk TSC generic for all vehicles sometimes

 

Yep thats it, I use the Syn. of that

 

It'll work, but I go syn (blue bottle) as well.

 

Thanks for the info, gentlemen.

As far as I know, this '90 (with 18,000 miles) has had conventional oil used to this point. I've always understood that switching to synthetic on an older engine could cause problems; is that an old wive's tale, or a genuine concern?

 

^ That may have been a concern in days of yesteryear.

The Rotella-T6 syn that I find is only available in 5w-40 and I wouldn't run it in these bikes.

 

Why is that TBT? I've seen other threads on this forum where it's been highly recommended/regarded. Just curious?

 

I wouldn't run 5 weight in any bike let alone and older one with looser tolerances.

 

Wait, did you just call my bike 'loose'? I mean, I'll admit she's been around, but 'loose'?
