Well....I've put about 1500 miles on my 6 using the Rotella T6....and I’ve noticed a few things.
My bike is a 2012 with 12,557 miles on the clock. I picked her up with 0 miles, so I put every mile on her clock. I know how she sounded when she was new, so any changes in sounds, performance, etc. I know.
After switching from Mobil1 4t Full Synth. the bike still shifts smooth BUT I’ve noticed that the Yami tick is more noticeable...more engine noise at idle as well.
Also...running the bike in 70+ degree weather....I’ve noticed that she heats up quicker....I’ve noticed my fans coming on more frequently at stop lights. Also....I’ve noticed a more noticeable "oil" smell when she’s running above 180*. She's not burning oil but there’s a definite smell that I’ve never noticed when using Mobil1.
I know that 1500 miles isn’t a whole lot, I’m just pointing out the things that I’ve noticed right of the bat. Depending how I feel when she hits 3k miles using this oil…I may run the Rotella again. There’s people on here that have ran the Rotella for over 30k miles with no issues , maybe my bike doesn’t like it, I don’t know.
Ill keep this thread updated as I go along with the Rotella.
