I've since moved on to Mobil 1 Racing 4T motorcycle oil for the VTX.
Here is a list of current JASO MA, MA2, MB approved oils, August 2019, no rotellas listed. http://www.jalos.or.jp/onfile/pdf/4T_EV_LIST.pdf To be JASO approved they need to display the seal shown below, personally I've never seen the seal but I've only been using the shell tested "meets specification" oil, for me that is currently Rotella T Triple Protection at $3.50/qt. I had the Rotella T tested from my vtx by Blackstone Lab. Never took it out to its end rating but they had me going over 10K miles with some TBN still remaining. That was good enough for me because I wanted to be able to take a 10K trip without worrying about the oil. In the shell T6 labeling it looks to me they are claiming to meet the MA, MA2 rating but not specifying approval. |

maurice2 | I think you can read all you want, different opinions, but how does the transmission feel, do you add oil between changes. That is what I go by. So no Rotella for me or the car mobil. Had to add oil. Not with motorcycle synthetic for me. Others have different results. Don't know why. |

Earl, I am not sure who your question was directed to but since I may be one of the few using Mobil Delvac 15-40 I am still rolling along with it. Looks like ten oil changes with Mobil Delvac 15-40 192,882 VTX miles |

Earl Riviere | How many miles on your bike now ?? Do you still like Delvec oil for your VTX ?? |
