I have a buddy that used the Shell Rotella diesel oil that is dirt cheap for his 2009 r1.
I'm at 365,000 km and switched to Shell Rotella T6 probably 30-40k ago. Oil consumption was at last halved - the detergents in that oil really help clean up deposits in the rings, or so I'm told.
Quality synthetic oils provide the lowest oil temps, longest running life and superior lubrication. I use Shell Rotella T5 10W-40 for Texas climate.
I've used T6 in my MK4 BEW for 5 years now. Regular changes, no issues at all, and at 1/3, the cost of 'suggested' brand.
Personally I rock she’ll rotella 15w40 in the summer and 5w40 in the winter to aid in cold starting. Seems to work pretty good
Shell helix has been fine for me
You can use it for motorcycles I have in the pass only thing I don't like is my bikes don't shift gears super smooth with rotella also in my Yamaha owners manual it says in capital letters do not use diesel oil and I did and I fried my clutch plates and had to put new clutch plates
When I tried it on my MT-07, though, I found a lot of false-neutrals that my bike didn't have before. I drained it out and put Motul back in after about 300 miles.
As long as you’re not mixing fuel with it you’ll be fine. All of my stuff runs on basic and cheap T4 Rotella 15w-40. Have never had a single issue
Rotella T6 full synthetic, zero problems, never let me down.
