Default RE: Syn Oil?

Alright, well I bought a gallon of oil (Rotella T 15w-40) but I noticed...it's API is CJ-4. That's diesel motor oil...is it not?
Is this ok to use on my bike?
I also bought a BOSCH 3323 filter as suggested by someone in one of my earlier topics.

Default RE: Syn Oil?

after doing some reasearch at http://www.turbodieselregister.com/TDR57_Oil.pdfa link from the first page i linked to IMHO it appears ok. I AM NOT A EXPERT OR MECHANIC so my opinion counts for squat. but I would feel safe using that oil in my bike. The Molybdennum count is low and from the research that is the big killer for out transmissions.
Viscosity @ 100° 15.7
TBN 8.77
Calcium 2488
Magnesium 8
Phosphorus 1108
Zinc 1147
Boron 37
Molybdenum 2
