Rotella Synthetic
Did my first oil change today. No issues. Put in Rotella synthetic and a purolator filter.

I had been concerned with the shift quality I had been experiencing, but, the Rotella made a very noticeable improvement.

Re: Rotella Synthetic
before my first oil change my shifting was getting much more clunky and after the change it was smooth as butter again!

I put almost 100 miles on my bike yesterday, up to 160 total now and I could tell as I went through the day it was getting clunkier. Going to change my oil this morning to regular Rotella and then to Rotella Synthetic at 600 miles.
