So I changed mine out last year. 2008 zx14. And I was going to do it again.
So I have two different quarts on my shelf. One Shell Rotella T, and the other Castrol gxt. And I cant remember which one I used in the bike and which one I used in my 335i? LOL
The Rotella is in the blue bottle, it is 5w-40. Meets api cj-4 service, and meets requirements of api SM.
The Castrol is 10w-40 api SM, SL, SJ, and SH.
Im pretty sure the Rotella T is the one I used in the bike. But the zx14 book calls for 10w-40. API SE, SF, or SG. API SH, SJ or SL with JASO MA. I guess the MA is for our wet cluthces?
So if someone can point me in the right direction, and with the specific wording I need on the bottle, that would be great! Or if you have a different synthetic oil to use I would like to here of that also.
But pretty much what Letters am I looking for on the side of the bottle?
Also Im in the midwest, I dont ride in cold temps. 55 and above. But below 100. So what is a good weight for that?
I also noticed on the Rotella T bottle is really only states deisel trucks? But I think that has been covered before.
Thanks all
