Okay, I was running Shell Rotella 15W-40 non-synthetic for my Auto-RX rinse stage, and I just couldn't stomach having a non-synthetic in there so I swapped it out at 186 miles. Yeah, I know, people have used all kinds of crap in all kinds of vehicles and they seem to get by, but I had recently been reading about these motors losing oil pressure to certain rod and main bearings and cooking them, so I want to keep the best stuff in there I can. Here are the results, also had 3.5 ounces of Lube Control in there.

nicrfe1370, no need to have been nervous about an excellant HDEO as Shell Rotella 15-40. I used it always in my old 97 ZX-11 and have sence used it in all my bikes including a 03 and 04 ZZR until they had 2K miles and then used Syn Rotella 5-40. Good additive package in the diesel oils.

I guess, for now , I'm reasonably safe from that. But only because I yet don't know how to wheelie.
