Rotella T-6 5w40 Vs. Delo 400 LE 5w40

[VSTAR650]

So what does the collective think???????
Many have run the Rotella T-6 with success,it even seems to be one of the favorites.
How do you all think the Delo stacks up against the T-6???????

I prefer Delo. T6 is a very noisy oil. Made both the Bug and the old white van sound like they were full of sand.

Delo is sooooooooooo quiet.

You can hope that Sunruh pipes in, he's got a wealth of experience.

Or try PMing him and draw his attention to the thread.

I'm still under warranty on my bike, so I'm using T6 (JASO MA approval).

Also, I've run Rotella for nearly 3000 hours in a Kawasaki engine. I pulled the valve covers off at 2000 hours to replace leaky gaskets, and it was clean as new underneath, with 125 hour change intervals.

Rotella is getting the job done for me.

I prefer the heavier weights in motorcycles, and have run both those oils, Delo is heavier and also cheaper.

In my sport bike, t6 produce good numbers inside of 1500 miles(but lost a full grade), but I prefer 2500/3000 mile oil, before losing a grade.
