Dude, I ain't got no fucking clue about oils and such. If I really wanted to know about them intelectually, I would ask this guy I used to work with who retired from the Navy as a Diesel Mech/Instructor. He taught oil refineing and diesel mechanics to the newbs. He knows his shit about oils and what to look for and such. Me.........I'm just your average run of the mill, flunkie!!

Castrol GTX which at the time had all the forum/message board's seals of approval! Just like Rotella does now....

hey, if you can't have a somewhat heated discussion without actually being pissed at someone you are not a good person where it counts.

Not exactly what I said, but.....touche. You can't knock the stuff. I mean, it's held high upon a pedestal for as long as I can remember. I don't know how many engine builders that I have heard over the years telling me that it's all they use to break in a new engine (keep in mind that I have been an auto tech for almost 15 years now). I think a Synthetic would be better in my current bike, but I wouldn't be afraid to run Rot. if I had to.

**EDIT** BTW, I hate NASCAR.......despise would be a better word.
