Thought I would post an update on oil here. 4 of us seattle rx-3 owners were all running Rotella 20w50 diesel oil and as mentioned were finding issues with it, even though its a great oil. Noisier, harder to shift, lots of lurching forward when shifting into first, etc. Just wasnt good. I switched to Mobil Delvac same Spud uses and it improved very marginally, but not improving much over last couple hundred miles. So recently I pulled the trigger on the Maxima 10w40 Syn Blend, and two of the other owners did a full syn from Maxima and the difference is AMAZING. Engine runs better, runs quieter, neutral is 10 times easier to find and is actually probably better than my Triumph Triple right now. And shifting feels like pushing up or clicking down a stick of butter. Such a difference and hope to encourage anyone else experiencing shifting issues to try the Maxima Full Synthetic or Syn Blend. Great stuff for the RX-3s.
