Nice to see so many other people are using Rotella in there cars and bikes. I have been using it in my car for years and every time I take the used oils to a shop or disposal they smell it while pouring and get on my case that it is"diesel" oil and point out my car isn't a diesel....thanks. I'm not an idiot. The shit works just fine in gas cars.

I do have issues finding neutral on my bike. Wonder if switching oil would help. I currently use Mobil 1.

I always get the "what kinda truck you got?" questions when I buy Rotella. When I tell them what I'm using it for, they look at me like I just grew a 3rd arm.

I'd had a third arm my whole life.


Been using Rotella T6 in the bikes for a few years now with no problems and R T5 in the vehicle. Plan in using it for many more years.

Oh BTW someone mentioned Mobile 1 which I just put in my bike... Why? You might ask well since it was under$20 OTD with a filter..... I don't know if my particular store manager is nuts or screwed up but he gave me the MC synthetic oil and a filter.....

This.

I run Mobil 1 or Motul, whichever CycleGear has for $1 cheaper that week. The KX is getting broken in and finding neutral is a pain in the pits.

Do we need to put a specific code or anything in for Gasman to get the sale or are all sales off that site specific to him?

Well you can either use the link in my sig and pay retail price. Or PM me what you want along with your info & payment info. I can quote you and process the order for a discount.
