    Oil (yes i know) But question on alternative to rotella

    Over here we don't have Shell oils, can i use Valvoline All-Fleet Plus 15W40 Oil instead?

    Thanks

    That oil is fine. A goodly amount of zinc for high pressure protection, such as for the cams and transmission gears.

    To measure is to know.

      I've run all kinds of cheap diesel oil in my 650, never a problem. If you're worried about Low zinc count, why not use a zinc additive.

        Yeah I just put a jug in my bike today- The Valvoline got it on sale at Auto Zone for 13 bucks.
        Runs and shifts smooth- I always use Rotella but they were out, this will do for a few months until the weather gets too bad.
