    Hi All,

    I recently picked up a 1982 XJ650RJ and was going to run Shell Rotella T4 15W-40. Any worries?

    The thing is, unlike 99.999999999% of oil threads on other sites, ours are civil and based on discussing fact instead of feel.

    Canadian Tire sometimes sells 5 gallon pails for $50 - $60 bucks. Lots of cheap oil changes there.

    I understand that, and that's why I thought it was funny. I'm sorry if it isn't.
