I’ve been using “Rotella-T 15w-40” (non synthetic) in my 2005 Honda Shadow Spirit VT1100C since I bought it used in 2006. It’s a fine oil.
T6 is great motorcycle oil I've used it often.
I exclusively use rotella in my bikes. It's cheap and good oil.
I have maybe 60k miles on rotella t6 in various liquid cooled metric bikes. It meets the standards that yamaha requires and is way more available than yamalube.
I have used full synthetic Rotella T in my bikes for the last decade with no issues.
As an aside, all the oil used to be Castrol and has now transitioned to a VW boxed product produced by Mobil 1. THAT is the correct oil.
I've switched to Castrol Magnatec 10W-40 which seem to do better wrt oil pressure.
Try using 5w30 castrol from walmart black container with green writing, since switched been driving 2.7k with in 2-3 month oil on the same level
My 93 loved and my 94 loves Rotella T6 5w40????????
I'm running 5qt 5W40 full synthetic oil (Castrol Edge, to be specific). The oil is changed yearly cause I never get close to the 10k miles suggested by VW for an oil interval.
