Needing to change oil in two of my bikes so been looking for Rotella T4 at Walmart and Home Depot.  None on the shelves for almost 2 weeks.  Went online to see what's up and found this:

Apparently supply chain issues have hit the additive manufacturers, so Shell's Rotella line is shut down until Q4 2022.

I'll do some checking on here for options and pick something else for a while I guess.

If you can find it - Use Rotella T6 - it's better for your MC anyway...

pretty sure rotella T6 is also hard to find.  Use to be all the time at local farm and fleets on sale and other places easy to find. Over past 1 year or more NONE around at all.  I luckily have enough for 2 more riding seasons changing on 4 cycles yearly.   Rotella T6 had a sale few years back on the HUGE 2.5 gallon jugs so bought 2 of them.  Now watch me spill or tip over those HEAVY jugs trying to pour it into a tiny funnel into the cycles?   Grin
