Quote:I'm pretty happy with Rotella T and personally I think this sample is proof that even for track use a good quality conventional oil will get the job done and there is no need for full synth oil unless the vehicle specifically requires it

You should note that that is a VERY good conventional oil. The additive pack in that diesel oil is massively better than in modern conventional car oils.

Just using regular car oil will NOT yield the same results.

Automotive oil is actually getting worse and worse over time, as they remove anti-wear additives with the goal of saving the Cat. Diesel oil isn't doing this.

I'm running Petro Canada Duron E 10W40 oil in my motorcycle instead of the expensive motorcycle branded oils. I will probably start using it in my ZX3 too. I may switch to Duron non-synthetic in my daily drivers.
