Shell Rotella  5W-40 Full Synthetic.  Diesel Oil works better with a wet clutch, or so I've been told.

Make sure that whatever oil you use the back of the container has nothing written in the bottom portion of the circle as shown on this container.

I've been getting boxes of this stuff ever since
I got the Log Truck back in 2006...



I put this stuff in the new Valkyrie when I Changed the oil in it...
do you reckon it's got gold or something in it?

diesel oil is the same as overpriced motor cycle oil

this months issue
http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/e9f4b3fd#/e9f4b3fd/1

see article  Two-wheelers love oil too!

they have a pic of the new goldwing valkyrie as a bonus.
JASO spec'd motorcycle oil are basically the same specs as heavy-duty diesel oil standards.
JASO does not test oils, manufactures pay a fee to JASO and state their oil meets the specs.

see article, another grade for the heavy-duty upgrade?

even better diesel oils coming into the market much better wear protection and using a 10w30 for better mpg.
