Hello!
Here in Europe we don't have Shell Rotella oils, we have Rimula instead. I have 2 KTM fourstroke Motorcycles, and I wonder if I can use the Shell Rimula 6 LM oil in them. It is not rated JASO MA, and it is not rated for gasoline purpose.
I did use it regulary in all my KTM 2 strokes all the time with no problems, so I can state that it meets the JASO MA standard, because the clutch had absolutely no problem working in that oil. But I'm a little worried how it will perform in lubricating the piston and head on a four stroke.
I have access to a bunch of Shell Rimuala oils for trucks for almost free and the 6 LM being the top as it is full synt 10W-40. I need a lot of oil changes on those two KTM's, so I really need your opinion on this matter.
Thanks.
