the "break in" oil.

THere used to be a view that you should use mineral oil during
break-in,
then switch to synthetic. Now, it's certainly still no problem to
switch
after break-in, in fact recommended, but many think you can use
synthetic
during break-in too!

Thanks JV. But any concerns about switching over to synthetic
when it
wasn't used during "break-in"? Also, got any views about using
the
longer than stock Purolator PureOne Oil Filter? I've got just
over
4000 miles on my W (got it last spring with only 250 miles!!!).
I'm
due for an O/C now, and feel a filter change wouldn't be a bad
idea
too.

It's the Shell Rotella-T 5w-40 synthetic I've read good things
about
and what is in my W650 now. It's a common oil used for turbo
diesels
so should do well in a Grand National I would think. Most
Walmart's
have it for relatively cheap compared to other
synthetics.....Mobil-

for example.

#2 I've seen some mention about Shell Rotella 15W40
really smoothing out downshifts. True? Also, can the same be
accomplished with an additive? I onced tried the Rotella in my
Grand
National because a buddy said it could handle the heat of the
turbo
better than 5W30. In the end, I went back to 5W30 because the
slight
increase in pressure from the Rotella gave me nothing in
better
performance.
