Rotella T5 at 6595 miles

Report looks good.


I agree on not using the 5W-40 Rotella (or any other 5w-40) in a shared sump bike, without adjusting to more frequent oil change intervals. Might be OK for a Gold Wing.

I really like the 15W-40 Rotella and use it in all our motorcycles and two tractors.

Looks like my report went away on the first post here it is again.

i think their 1.3% fuel is low for a flash of 365.
you are over 2%
while your susvis is not 40wt that fuel will kill it
6600mi in a shared sump with those numbers says 1 of 2 things
1) your engine is very easy on oil
2) that oil is extremly stout
3) you babied those 6600miles
4) pick any combo of the above

Combo from above. I ride the bike like I paid a lot of money for it.

you have no reasons to switch oils ever.

just find out why the fuel is so high
