.......and yet nobody, yes nobody has had any kind of premature wear issues or engines problems whatsover and at all from using it. BOBISTHEOILGUY website is full of a bunch of lunatics, they have serious issues worrying so much about oil. How about we run a C14 for 100k on Rotella 15W40 and we crack open the case, I am betting it will still look like new. PARANOIA WILL DESTROY YA!!!!!
For those of you that think Rotella T 15w-40 is good oil for the C-14, this link may change your minds. This link is to a used oil analysis of Rotella T 15w-40 after 4000 miles in a C14. The oil has sheared down to nearly a 20 weight just as I suspected it would. It also shows that the C14 is VERY hard on oil -- probably because of the driveshaft output gears and the shared oil transmission. Data indicates that the RTS T-6 5w-40 would fare just as badly.

By the way.......I run that exact oil, so I will report back my results at 100K.

Whatsa matter? Don't like the truth?
How many high-mileage C14 engines have you had your hands in? Yeah, right -- just like I thought... When you get some engine-building experience, feel free to comment further.......
The C14 engine is a very high-output engine in addition to having the extra complexity of the drive system. Racers don't use tractor oil in their engines and neither should you. It doesn't even have the high levels of ZDDP anymore -- useless !!
Me? I'll continue to use Maxima Extra 15w-50 Synthetic and smilin' all the way
I understand both sides, but so how, so way, there are gang load of people using Rotella! I know people with Goldwings, BMWs, Honda ST and lot of us using Rotella. I have yet heard anything bad about the oil...
I would love to use a $11/qt oil everytime, but man that's a lot of money! I am sure those expensive oil are better, but I'm just stick with Rotella!
Relax Relax, use the oil you want, at the end it is your motorcycle. peace people
