Every bike and every rider prefers their own brand, but Rotella T6 made the clutch on my Vstrom 650 and my wife's tu250x sticky and the shifting notchy so I've pretty much given up on it. Both bikes prefer Mobil1 or AMSoil 10W-40 synthetic motorcycle oil. I haven't tried Rotella T6 in the RX3, but it's working fine for many folks here.

AMSoil and proper tire pressure bumped my wife's mpg from 85 to 100+. I have a couple more quarts set aside for the RX3's next oil change. I'm currently on the last of the Maxima semi-synthetic I got from CSC.
