I use one oil - shell rotella. It goes in my XRL my 4.0 Jeep and my 7.3IDI diesel ????
I always used gn4 but switched to rotella t6 15w40 cheaper, full synthetic. it can handle the heat alittle better and I like the shift quality over gn4. Walmart has it for cheap
Shell Rotella (Rimula) 10W40, mines on 165k, 6 months ago I did the O2 Pilot mod and started to use the above oil as it's fully synthetic and made for Buses, Heavy Trucks etc, and so has extremely good cleaning abilities. My oil consumption has dropped almost 4 fold and the cams, rockers, oil filter housing have all been cleaned of the varnish type coating they had too.
The oil type is likely fine, but the viscosity isn't. Ignore what the book says, get the 5W30 out of there. The PDs love to eat cams, and running 5W30 makes the problem worse. Me personally, I run Shell Rotella T6 5W40.
dude stick to the engine oil grade mentioned in the user manual and fill shell synthetic of that grade
Shell advance long ride or power you have two choices for fully synthetic trust me dude once you try shell there's no going back castrol is the worst for Royal Enfield and motul is better suited for high compression engines like KTM etc
I run Shell Rotella T6 15W-40 diesel engine oil in my Versys. It has all the ratings necessary for a motorcycle engine and a wet clutch, and it is a quarter of the cost of bike oils.
Rotella T5, up to 14k in between changes per oil analysis. Great oil, never had any issues.
I've used Rotella T4 15w-40 in my 2008 6.7 Cummins year round in Canada. The ol girl has 700,000km (420,000 freedom units) and she runs like a top.
I think factory recommendation is Rotella but honestly you can go with any high quality oil. I have used Rotella, Castrol, and Valvoline synthetics in my 500 and I honestly don’t think it matters.
