I use it in everything. Dirt bike, motorcycle, cars trucks, ect. Makes motorcycle transmissions shift better, and holds up as well as 10 dollar a quart specialty oils.

Is this test done on the latest formula of Rotella T? I thought they lowered the zddp levels when the switched to the new bottles and the "triple protection".

Tom,

Shell Rotella T Multigrade Oil SAE 15W-40 currently contains about 1200 ppm zinc. That's about the same amount as API SJ-rated oils had 8 or so years ago.
