Ya, I pay 45$/gallon for Ipone 2 Stroke snowmobile injector oil for my sled. I'd kill for some 19$/gallon oil.

Ok, well I'm a Truck/Diesel Mechanic (Not sure why this matters, but I'll play along) and use Rotella in my bike just like thousands of other people and I can tell you that it doesn't matter. It works flawlessly. Our oil change intervals are pushing 30,000 Miles still without a problem and we dont even use Rotella. We use what could be considered cheap, bulk Diesel oil.

I've seen pictures of sportbike engines used strictly for drag racing that were ran on Rotella. Tearing them down after years of racing showed very little for wear.
