In my 3 shared sump bikes I use conventional rotella 15w-40. I also use it in my Harley's primary.
Rotella t-6 shears out of grade faster than the conventional,and if running shorter intervals(3000 or less) I've found it not to be a huge deal however any longer than that and I've found shifting to be notchy and difficult. So if running intervals longer than 3000 miles the conventional rotella is better because it retains shift quality for longer.
I don't bother with syn in my shared sump bikes anymore. Rotella conventional is cheap,easy to find and works great. And I don't have to be on the dot as far as mileages go for oil changes. I change the oil when shift quality decreases. Simple.
My Harley will also be getting rotella this year. It's highly modified and I want to prove that those bike oils do nothing more than separate a consumer from his money and don't protect any better that rotella does at 3000-5000 mile intervals.
