Switching to synthetic

[Shasta]

Hello all

Don't worry this is not an oil thread.  Well kinda.

I am switching from Rotella 15w40 to T6.

1998 Tourer with 5000 miles.  Yes 5000.

Is it okay to just switch or do I need to do a synthetic blench first as a transition?

Thanks, Matt

Just do it.

Then ride.

So, you've changed the factory oil to Rotella T5 and the next change to T6.  Being it is only the 3rd oil change, you should be ok.

Just do it.

Ok Shasta, schools out. Time to get some quality NorCal miles racked up.

I am going to just do it.  Thanks.

I have only had the bike for one year.  Garage queen before that.  Change the oil to 15w40 when i got her.  Now ready for t6.

Ironic that you said school is out being I am a teacher.  Norcal awaits.  Killer roads.  Come visit and enjoy.  I would love to show you around.

I remembered you talking about being a teacher before.  Sounds good. Actually, we are going up to Mammoth Lakes Thursday. But we changed from a bike trip to a motorhome trip, as my daughter and her family are coming along. We should set up a ride up your way. There are a few members near you.    I'm sure some of the SoCal guys would be up for it.
