I've been looking for an oil to switch to as well.

Can't say I've heard of Rotella in Oz, which doesn't mean it isn't here. Does Rotella come in more than viscosity range?

I ride all year round and like the idea I can run a different weight oil from summer to winter.



I use Rotella T syn 5w40. But do not ride a huge amount in the winter.  It is by the way a product of the Shell Corperation.

Shell Rimula X is the same here I think.

Sold it!

Well fancy that - Shell names all their oils after species of shell fish... Microgaza Rotella is a species the Trochidae family of molluscs - apparently made from the ground up testicles of the male Rotella  :wacko3:. Mmmmm, maybe try some on toast with vegemite....

Why on earth would you want to ruin perfectly good Mollusk Mountain Oysters with Vegemite?  :bad:

I know I am sleep deprived but I can't stop laughing at the popcorn smiley. That's some funny shit because you know it's exactly what the 42 other "members" viewing the post are doing, watching and waiting for the action. Lurkers, nay, voyeurs.

I thought it was pretty funny too, I would like to thank Randy T. for the great idea, and Marsh for making it happen.
Not only is it my new favorite smiley but most of the time the most appropriate one too.

Thanks, Travis... not my idea, though.  I see it on STN all the time.

BTW, you still haven't told us what kind of popcorn oil you prefer.     :biggrin:
