Hey guys, Ive heard a lot of good about the Shell Rotella T (blue jug I believe?) and I would like to test it out.

Heres my question: What weight should I shoot for, whats good and whats bad, and which oil is it EXACTLY. Would hate to put an oil in that hasnt been tested to find out that it smokes the clutch and burns like woodchips

Thanks for any help guys,

Chris

 

I used the rotella before I got hooked on the mobil1 -- don't remember what color the jug was. Just know that it was 10w40 full synthetic. Stuff worked fine -- I'm just an oil snob lately.

 

yes yes... what type of mobil one, If I may ask. Im just looking at something to try thats not going to be 60 bucks an oil change hahahah... moneys tight right now, im actually working for wally world, not just going there to shop :S note to all those out there... cart pushing sucks, but it gets you in damn good shape if you go about it the right way

 

For normal bike I use mobil1 10w40 -- I used the shell or mobil1 15w50 on my old turbo bike.

 

This may be a dead thread, but I just put Shell Rotella T the blue jug, 5w40 in my bike today, I THINK it's base is a group3, but it says synthetic... who knows, might be a full group 4 base. I based my decision here:

Bike runs good, haven't really taken it for a long ride yet.
