I searched the site for a little while to try and get a feeling on my choice. It sounds to me like my oil and filter choice is no less then decent, and some sound just short of great.
I went to Rotella T synthetic 5W-40 with a Supertech ST7317 filter on my first oil change. I would like to continue to use the same combo since I can get them both from the same place, for a great price.
I would just like to hear a reassurance that these are okay for my 13,000 RPM, 150 HP (and to think, Honda isn't the best engine performer!!!) daily driver motorcyle. I ride year round, rain or shine, hot or cold, long and short. I ride only 5 miles to work everyday, but I also make trips to southern California on occasion of 500 miles each way in temps up to 120 degrees or so
120 degrees is hot in full leathers by the way
I also plan to run the same oil and filter in my wife's Honda Shadow.
Most likely, I will go with the same basic combo on my other vehicles except in a 30 weight, and the appropriate filter.
Thanks
