How is the clutch with the rotella on the 450?Mobile 1 in the daily and racer, 5.3 ls and 350 SBC, both have roller lifters. Rotella t in the 83 Toyota 22r engine and kfx 450r quad.
Yeah, sorry I missed that one on the list ...I use LAT.
Didn't notice a difference switching from Motul. That's abusing the crap out of it crawling through a creek full of boulders to having fun at the dunes. Still on the stock '08 clutch but did run Motul for the first 2-3 years. Double check the bottle to make sure it has the correct additives for wet clutches, don't think all Rotella flavors have it.How is the clutch with the rotella on the 450?
I'd like to use that in my KTM SXF 450.
I use 5/30 mobil 1 in my wifes 11' M6 2SS, 04 5.3 sub.
Pennzoil platinum 10/30 in the 406.
I ran Rotella T synthetic in my old GSXR 1000 race bike with a wet clutch. It was severely abused and still had the factory clutch at 10k miles. The bike saw Road America and Road Atlanta multiple times and never skipped a beat.How is the clutch with the rotella on the 450?

I voted for the Valvoline, VR1 conventional oil, but after seeing your recent comments/discussions with 540Rat, I just purchased the Valvoline Max, high mileage oil, and will use that from now on.I'm trying to figure out the best currently available oils for "built" engines... Flat tappets are a concern, but I see the occasional roller failure too. So I think oil selection is critical to all engines that are upgraded from OEM specs.
Folks on this site run some pretty impressive combo's so I know they have thought this through. So I'm asking for your motor oil preferences ...
I been using mobile 1 in m street cars a long time. as for my race or high performance stuff I been using VR1 for a long time. for several reasons. I had a friend who swore by castrol gtx so before a race one time after he had blown his engine for the 3rd time I was short cash but wanted to change my oil, he gave me 6 quarts and told me to try it. now i know mixing or switching oils is not the best thing but beggars can't be choosers lol. that said my oil pressure gage was bouncing and fluttering I showed him this. then another friend bought me the oil i normally use and we swapped it before going to the track oil gage was perfectly steady and fine with the VR1 same grade 20-50 so i don't know why the castrol gtx was causing issues but it convinced me to stay with VR1. this was a 468 ci BBC with moroso pan and melling m77hv pump. any way just my experience. same oil filter was napa gold long filter.
