F6Dave:
I'm surprised at the variety of motor oils we use. If you look at the shelves in Walmart or an auto parts store just a few brands dominate, so I didn't think we'd be using so many.
I used to use Mobil 1 15W-50 automotive in both Valkyries but recently switched to Rotella T4 15W-40 conventional oil. It was just out of curiosity as the difference in price per quart is only about a buck. Used oil analysis showed similar wear metal levels for both so I don't know if I'll switch back or not. I'm still using the Mobil 1 in my GL1800 (F6B).

someone mentioned rotella T6 5w-40 the formula components of the oil said changed so no longer using it. How, when, or what did they change since been using that ever since Amsoil got so expensive over a decade ago.

As I'm the only one here thats posted that has had an issue with post 17' T6 formula. Used it w/o issue in the 00' ZR7 and the 06' VT1100 for 6 yrs. A fellow HSN member had issue in his ST1300 also. Now the dino Rotella might work better but I already committed to using synthetic thus Mobil1 put everything back in order after a slight oil quest with Valvoline dino. ;)
mello dude:
Kinda interested in the T6 formula change thing... was that 5W-40 only? or 15W-40 too?
And when was it?
This survey is going really good! Very cool! :cooldude:
Most listed as a zero its really a 1.....from someone that posted in the thread...
