Will any diesel oil work?

Thanks guys. I will leave the current oil in the KLR for a couple hundred miles and then change it with rotella T6. T6 is what most of the KLR guys use in their bikes. I use Maxima pro 4 in my FZ1. I tried T6 but it shifted hard. I had to adjust the quickshifter for a longer pulse time as it took longer to shift and clunked some. Not with maxima. I am not putting $34 a gallon oil in my hawk though.

i do not want to sound old but I remember when you could buy a gallon of rotella (Before it was "T" anything for $7)
