Good Evening Board,
I just received my Blackstone report. I used Shell Rotella 5w/40 syn, in my 2001 Honda Valkyrie, 6 cyl, 1520 cc's.
Miles on oil: 1325
Miles on bike: 13550
Oil Filter: Stock OEM, Toyo Roki
Shell 1st column.
Mobil 1 T&S 5w/40 2nd column 1273 miles on oil.
Amsoil 10w/40 motorcycle specific oil in 3rd column 2414 miles on oil.
Alumimum 1-3-3
Chromium 1-0-1
Iron 6-9-25
Copper 3-5-12
Lead 0-0-1
Moly 6-1-1
Nickel 0-0-0
Manganese 0-0-0
Silver 0-0-0
Potassium 0-0-0
Boron 7-41-0
Silicon 6-6-4
Sodium 1-0-5
Calcium 3250-2705-3494
Magnesium 72-417-12
Phosphorus 1243-1137-1051
Zinc 1391-1377-1261
TBN 9.70-7.50-7.70
SUS @210 67.20-64.70-68.10
It would appear to me the Rotella syn stayed in grade?, and had reduced wear numbers making it superior to either the Mobil 1 T&S or the Amsoil oil in wear protection.
Thoughts?
