Never really got the diesel oil thing. I mean you can buy actual motorcycle oil these days on the shelf of every Wal Mart I've been in. Plus since we often only need 1.5 quarts or something I don't get the expense thing either really.
Now years ago yeah, T4 was a much better option than paying premium motorcycle shop prices. To be sure.
$13 a gallon for T6 is a heckuva deal, like 50% off. Even cheap non-synthetic Delo only gets down to like $16 a gallon.

One of my bike's factory spec is straight 60 weight. 70 for hot weather and 50 for winter. Being kickstart only, that kind of sucks. 30 years of experimentation with using 20w50 in it I think has about proven that work OK. Year round.

My china bike gets Wal Mart motorcycle oil, so do the Hondas. I have diesel truck, it gets whatever diesel-specific oil is on sale. I buy oil ahead of need so it may be I might "borrow" a little Rotella or whatever to top off a bike. Not a big deal.
