Yikes.....I forsee a huge oil discussion in the brewing. IMO there is nothing wrong with "diesel oil", there is a huge debate about using motorcycle specific oils as well. I think I'm going to switch over to the Rotella T synthetic 5w-30. I mentioned the 15-40 b/c that is what has been used in my bike. And FYI the bike runs great on the "diesel oil". There is always a huge debate on that matter on the bike boards.....but thanks for the replies:-)
