Anyone use Shell roletta T5 before? how dose it works? - yamasaki - 18-08-16
I'm using repsol rider now and going to switch to roletta T5 next oil change, is it ok? since it's alot cheaper than the repsol.

Rotella T5 is intended for use in big diesel engines so will contain more detergents than necessary in a bike engine.
On the plus side: it has plenty of ZDP which is excellent (and largely absent from SL-rated oils onwards) and doesn't have Moly which would make the clutch slip.
If it's a good price I'd happily give it a go.

Interesting for the source of information for the incoming members.

Detergent heavy, low revving, diesel engine oil, going into very high revving, high tuned petrol motorcycle engine, :eek I think I will give that one a miss.
It might be alright, but, I would not take the chance.
And is it worth the risk saving perhaps 6 or 7 quid on 4 litres of oil, if it was to foc your engine I don't think you will repair it with the money saved. :lol
Shell Advanced 4T for me every time, either Fully Synth or Semi Synth, what ever is on offer at the time.
I change my Oil & Filter at the end of the summer each year, before hibernation, it has usually done about 2 - 2.5 thousand miles.

Quote: either Fully Synth or Semi Synth,
Begs a question I've wanted to ask. Supposing you've got a spare litre of fully synth and you mix it with semi for an oil change. Is that going to be OK? Assuming they are both 10/40 and the right spec of course.
