    I have an 82 xj650 maxim. I've been searching through this site but I couldn't find a solid answer for what oil to get. The results were all over the place and I was getting annoyed so I just decided to buy a gallon of what some of the results yielded (Rotella T Triple Protection). Now I need to know if this is in fact alright. A yes or no will suffice.

    Yes. It's been one of my oils of choice for a few decades. Read the thread in my signature for other options if you're curious.
