Been on holiday for a month so missed this one hope somebody reads my little imput from Brisbane australia. It is hot here and I have tried every oil I can get my hands on and found that it only lasted 2ooo k's before gearbox got clunky etc.
I tried to find shell Rotella but it is not imported or made in Aus so after investigation I used something similer which was penzoil (spelt correctly?) 20-50 diesel oil which is a high performance oil works great had it in for 8000 k's and am now going to change oil and filter (03 speedmaster from new 27,000 k's) just the best oil! However because it is so hot here I did try 20-60 diesel but found that the heavy oil slowed down the motor to a noticable amount so drained it and used 20-50. If you live in a warm climate I dont think I would use 15-40 or such like as it might run a bit thn at high temperature.
Thats just my 2 cents worth I guess we will use what we like when we like even when other resort to degrading remarks for being different. (all those who have three our fathers please)
