Rotella T

[Steven Bixby]

Um... to my understanding, T-6 is the "replacement" for the full-synth
we knew as "Roella T", with it now being JASO rated too, so that bikes
with warranties requiring JASO-rated are not in violation, so to
speak.

I've been using T6 for about a year and the bikes seem to be working fine.

The T5 is the new name for Rotella synthetic and the T1 is the new name for the old straight mineral oil. T6 has the antifriction additive that makes it unsuitable for transmission clutches.
