Sad, its not available at any Walmart stores within 50 miles from my location I have to check if I can get it from somewhere else.
GHG - thanks for the experienced recommendations. I just look for the JASO on the oil package. The full synth Rotella has a JASO rating too.
You can get it all over the joint. And EVEN at Unionized shops !? Imagine that.... https://www.pepboys.com/product/details/8471655/00267https://www.pepboys.com/product/details/1161999/00267http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/shell-rotella-t-triple-protection-15w-40-heavy-duty-motor-oil-1-gallon-550019913/8020590-P?searchTerm=shellhttp://www.autozone.com/motor-oil-and-transmission-fluid/engine-oil/shell-rotella-t4-diesel-engine-oil-15w-40-1-qt-/433434_0_0
Speaking of primary ( clutch) . I have used : 10w-30, 10w-40, 15w-40, 20w-50, ATF-F. With no slipping.
You are talking about one of the older motorcycles that use a separate oil sump for their wet clutches?Somehow the idea of using ATF for an engine lube doesn't sound right to me. (The older Iron Barrel and the later AVL Lean Burn clutch and primary drive has its own oil supply. The new UCE engines don't.)
Out of interest, what are the issues that can arise from using a 40 weight opposed to a 50 weight?Only because I'm thinking (rightly or wrongly) of changing to 10w 40 for a UK climate.
Yes, the seperate oil sump for the clutch on Iron Barrel and AVL is the " Primary" cover or primary drive.The point I was trying to make , was no brand oil or viscosity of oil has ever caused me any clutch slipping.
Well worth reading I think....https://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Oil.html
