I wanted to share this with everyone. I did my own oil change and was looking at the different oils that everyone was talking about. One that came up often was Rotella T6 which is full synthetic 5w-40. A bunch of people have been using it on their S1000RR's and loved the results so far. I figured I would give it a shot seeing as it is about $25/gal at WalMart. I have been about 2k miles so far with this oil in the bike and so far it has been very good.
People have been saying there is less vibration when they use this oil .... I can not say for sure. Never had a vibration problem that I was aware of. I can tell you that the bike shifts easier..... I dont know why but it does. Seems very smooth on the shifts. The temperature has been the same or lower since using the oil. The oil was designed for high performance and heavy work load diesel engines.
In any case if you are looking for an oil that gives you full synthetic protection and works well in sportbikes but gives you the price of non synthetic oil then you should check this out. I will keep yall updated.
I will answer any questions that I can about this stuff. I also would like to send a sample to be tested. Just gotta get with the expert about that part.
