Any opinions or rumors about Mobil1 Fully Synthetic Turbo-diesel  5W40 ?  It's about half the price of Rotella T 5W40, at Walmart.

Mike: Mother Honda doesn't recommend 5W oils. Use a 10W as a minimum.

When you say half the price..... what's the number $$$?
I buy Rotella T6 5W40 synthetic diesel gallon jugs for $21.36 at the Wally. Been using it for years summer or winter so don't worry about the 5W thing hurting the Valk engine.

I think it was $12.99.  Rotella is the same as at your locale.
I've been running Rotella in all our bikes, the Winter grade doesn't mean much in South Texas.  Wink
