1998 Goldwing Rotella T 5w/40 4207 miles

[road_rascal]

Here's the first report for my '98 Goldwing. Blackstone flagged iron and fuel dilution. I only rode the bike about 8 miles before I grabbed a sample so that may be why fuel was a little up. The bike only has 21,000 and runs great. This is the third fill on RTS, and I'm using the OEM air and oil filters.

Rotella seems to always show good results. Guys have run it out to 8000 miles (15W40) and get great wear results. Vis is a little low but hey......

Good showing! You gonna stick with rotella or switch it up?

I'm going to keep using it. I didn't really ride this bike enough this year (I was hoping for at least 6K). I put the RTS in my Nighthawk (after using M1 15w/50 for years). I would like to get at least 3K on that bike so I can run another UOA.

You might also take a look at my Blackstone report on my GL1800.
