1999 Honda ST1100
Water-cooled V4
Shared engine/trans. oil, wet clutch
Comments:
Rotella 10W30 oil
Purolator automotive oil filter
MMO as a UCL.
This is my first run with Rotella 10W30.
The wear metals look good but this is the first oil that I didn't like the feel of in the transmission.
The lead fell a bit and Blackstone noted that.
I filled the bike with Super Tech 15W40 this time and I 'll test that at 8,000 miles
