• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Anyone using Rotella T-6 5w40 full synthetic - ‘22 RTL

No luck there either. dr2152 having a good experience with 5/40, maybe that's a choice. In Florida it gets hot, maybe I'm just overthinking this thing.
 
T-6 5W40 and HiFlo filter in my 2021 RTL. Used the T6 in my '06 GL1800 for over 125k miles - no oil-related problems at all.
 
Hi Bill how you doing bud? I have been using 5/40T6 in my VTwin for 75,000 miles still going strong. I do change every 4500 miles the suggested interval for my 998.
 
T6 5W-40 in my 2014 Gold Wing for 116,000 trouble free miles.
Will be changing to the Rotella for my '22 RTL at the next (9300 m) oil change.

I've used it on 2010, 2016, and now our current 2021's. This past summer was the first full summer with the '21's and they performed flawlessly for a little over 5000 miles til the snow started flying. I changed oil early November and continuing with Rotella. I did not send any samples anywhere based on what I've read here on the site, and my own experience.
 
I've been using both the 5/40 and 15/40 T6 for some 20+ years, in my 99 24valve Cummins, vintage and newer Harleys, BMW cycles, Japanese bikes, and a half dozen classic cars and hot rods along with my current Spyder. All with great results. I was pointed in this direction by a buddy who is a drag racer, and high end automotive machinist that has been in the business for some 60 years. He builds and works on all different kinds of vehicles. Breaks them down, has the oil checked, examine's bearings and pistons for wear. He tells me it's all he use's, which is good enough for me. Will say I add Zinc for my classics with flat tappet cams. Recent problem has been availability. Not sure why, but I now keep around 20 gallons on hand, when my local sources and Amazon can't deliver. Have even had to buy it in 5 gallon buckets on occasion, which is cheaper
 
Good stuff, love the T6, seems to work for me, so I stay with it. Just curious of the 15/40 might be a bit heavy for the Rotax 1330?
 
I personally would not think it would be a problem, but in my case, I live outside of Death Valley and ride in a lot of extreme heat.
