What type of oil do you use?

[ruthie]

Thinking about doing oil changes myself (that is my hubby). We use Rotella T Synthetic SAE 5W-40 in all our bikes, truck and car for many years. Does anyone use Rotella in their RT-S SE5.

Hi ruthie i see that you are still new so this is the best way to tell you how to search. Click on search above and type in what your looking for then click go. Or you can order everything you need from Bajaron.

The new formulation of Rotella-T 5W-40 will cause clutch slippage. Ask Lamaont about it. nojoke

Same here. Used it for 40,000 miles in our 2008 SE5 and now in our 2010 RT. Only difference, we use the automotive oil. Same oil except the Max Cycle is formulated for air cooled engines.

I haven't used the same brand of oll more than one time, And i haven't noticed any difference between them. :dontknow:
If there is a difference i think it's only the shape and color of the bottle the oil comes in.
We know BRP doesn't make their own oil, For that matter either does Ford, GM, or Chrysler

I'm changing my oil this weekend. Plan to use BRP oil. Is there any real advantage using the full synthetic (winter oil) vs. BRP synthetic blend (summer oil)? :dontknow:

I asked the parts guy at my dealer. He recommened the full synthetic and did NOT say anything about winter vs summer oil.
