Home Brew Rotella

[seacliff]

For the last 4000 miles I have been mixing 50/50 Rotella T6 and Rotella T. Crazy maybe but it has really done well and I still get benifits from both that I feel both are lacking individually.

Also, T6 is thin, open a quart of both and start pouring, it is a noticable difference even when 85 degrees outside.

Also Shell says I am creating a 10w-40 mixture which is what I wanted.

All of our Shell Rotella multi-grade viscosity products are
completely compatible with one another in any ratio. A 50/50 blend
of Shell Rotella T Triple Protection Oil SAE 15W-40 with our Shell
Rotella T6 Synthetic Oil SAE 5W-40 would be perfectly acceptable.
You could then switch to Shell Rotella T5 Synthetic Blend Oil SAE
10W-30 whenever you desire.

Thank you for your interest in Shell Lubricants!

People should use oil they feel works for them. The Rotella oils are great oils.

Thats good to know, if you want to blend your own formula of oil. I like the Shell Rotella products and just use the 15W40, I like the way the bike shifts with it in the motor.

Mix in a little sea foam for a little kick. ;)
