Rotella T?
Ok, I bought some Rotella T diesel oil (15W40) for my bike (f4) oil change. It was suggested to me by some local riders. Is this a dumb idea....I mean it is not for a motorcycle after-all. What do you guys think?
They said diesel oil has properties that make it much better to use then say, car oil.

I'm surprised you aren't already aware of all the guys around here that use Rotella. Although it is primarily marketed towards "fleet" applications (heavy duty diesel engines), it is an excellent if not superior oil to use in a variety of other vehicles; cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles. I've been using the 5W-40 synthetic during these colder months, but I'm going to switch to the 15W-40 for the summer.
