I have been using it in a Harley road glide 103. They are mechanically loud motor. It much quieter. Also run it in the trans and primary. Clutch feels better and shifts awesome. No more big clunk

I like the green, it is a nice indicator if there is a leak...seeing that power steering, trim, and tabs have same colored fluid.

Yes, they have. Rotella was one of the last hold outs to change. But they got forced to. It is still a real good oil, but it is not what it used to be. Same thing with Delo.

You guys put entirely to much time and energy into what oil to use and who's is best. I've never had an engine failure do to oil. The most important thing about oil is you change it. The richer the motor is the more often it needs changed. If you don't have a motor that is set in kill mode and dumping fuel into it to make it live you can make it a season without an oil change. 100 times more important than what brand oil is going in the motor is what oil filter is going to be used. If you collapse a filter your done. And due to the design of some filters they just don't flow any oil and become a huge restriction in the system which usually leads to a collapsed filter, empty wallet and a wife that tells you to get rid of the dumb thing.

Hint: $2/qt 20/50 oil works just as well as $10/qt 20/50 oil in motors that aren't being fuel diluted to stay alive.

Any thoughts on this particular filter? I usually use Wix but moved up to the HP6 size and this is what I found most easily available. I'm mostly concerned with the media being able to handle the typical moisture found in boats. Also using Brad Penn 10/40 in the ZZ502 motor.

Sorry for the slow response... that is where I put mine. I wont loose that much heat from the pan.

Don't kid yourself, the zinc levels in Rotella, like the rest of our major brands of oils has dropped.

Picked up a (2) 6-packs for $65 recently, good stuff.

I think from glancing at these threads periodically that Mobile V Twin has remained a top choice. Is this still the case?

minxguy

Yes, Mobil V-Twin is still a decent oil, but nothing like it was 5 years ago.
