OIl question

Recommended Posts

I tried searching on this forum for some info, and could not find. Doesn't mean it's not here, but I just could not find it... With that said, Has anyone ever used and or is it of to use Rotella T6 synthetic extreme temperature Sw-40 oil in their R1100RS?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Scott

Rotella T6 doesn't meet the fairly antique oil spec for the R1100RS and other oilheads.

 

Mobil 1 V-Twin does, and is available at most neighborhood auto parts stores and big box stores.

5W-40 oil doesn't meet spec for your bike, especially in Summertime temperatures. You should be running a 20W-50 or 15W-50 oil with an SG or SH rating.

How about Castrol 20w-50 4T oil?

Yes, I use that a lot on the older BMW 1100/1150 bikes. It fully meets the BMW oil specifications for the older BMW boxers.
