I use Rotella T6 in my SXS, golf cart, pressure washer, generator & lawnmower. Works great for all those ! And I use Rotella Gas Truck oil 5W-30/ 0W-20 in my two vehicles. They love it also. Great video & very informative! Thanks for your time making it.
I just started using the supertech two weeks ago today the exact same 10W30 in my new Honda Grom well it's new to me it only had 1400 miles on it it had the original oil change done and maybe one after that but it's set in a garage for a while I wrote it 300 miles and then just now drained it and the oil looked brand new but I changed it and put more of the same back in it... seems to be a really good oil considering the Honda Gen 4 oil is not synthetic and is twice as much I'll just keep running this super tech and change it every 300 miles
I use Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 in everything except my 2007 Polaris Sportsman 500. However, I just changed my mind and will not be buying Polaris oil any longer. Rotella T6 5W-40 in the Polaris from now on. Thanks for a great video!
Millions of people have been using Rotella T4 and T6 in there motorcycles for years and swear by it. Both have JASO MA/MA2 on the back of the bottle so that's good enough for me.
Thank you for spending the time and dollars to make this informative vid! I knew the special PS4 oil wasn’t “special” enough to be worth what Polaris charges. It’s nice to have the supporting data that confirms the much more cost effective T6 will provide the required protection.
Thank you for this video. I will be using 5w40 Rotella synthetic and adding 20% ful synthetic Lucas Engine Oil Stabalizer. It does a great job of leaving an oil film on moving parts including the top end and cylinder walls. It's also quite viscous and will boost the overall viscosity of the oil closer to the Polaris 5w50. Great video and analysis.
The dealership is charg'in ya 12 bucks a quart pretty well premium price I would guess that's a pretty fat profit margin for an average oil just a scheme ta keep them dollar track'in back into the dealership I just watched a video on a channel that is biased to Amsoil the Rotella T4 beat the 100% pure syn. Amsoil in a -60F pour test By a pretty good margin
Great Information… something to think about. In my job I have opportunities to visit different companies and a couple of years ago I had tours of some major pistachio growers in California. One grower sold and packaged pistachio nuts for multiple brands including Great Value for Walmart. They have set standards for quality identified by each brand. I asked how the standards for Walmart Great Value compared to other brands… thinking the quality demands from Walmart would be lower. Instead was told that the quality standards for Great Value are the most strict of all brands. The reason is that you can get a bad bag of product from a major brand and overlook it… but if you get a bag of Great Value and it has a bad pistachio in it… the consumer will probably never buy it again. So Walmart demands that their Great Value brand be held to the highest quality. Always thought that was interesting.
Great video! I do use the PS4 as I only change once a year. Miles and hours dictate that interval for me personally. I have a whole year to get an oil change kit so again no problem for me. Amsoil would be my second choice as I am a preferred customer. But again great video and excellent information!
I use shell rotella T5 and T6 in everything I own including my classic cars get a half to full bottle of zddp in them I run 15-40 t-5 in my HP SBC engine and t-6 5/40 in the smogger. I run the 5-40 my honda ATVs and polaris Atv also for winter!
Dude: Pretty please with sugar on top: When using you phone to do a video, PUH-LEEZ rotate it 90 degrees (landscape) so it looks like a real movie. Filming "vertically" makes "shower curtains" on either side of the video.
I use T6 in everything that requires motor oil for at least a decade. Boats, SXS, Lawn mower, generator and my car and truck. good stuff and until I blow up a motor personally I will continue to use T6
God bless you!! Great videos very informative!! Really would have liked to seen the supertech oil sheet closer like you did the Polaris oil sheet would have been a lot better noticeable to the perspectives!! Of the comparisons but overall great video really do appreciate you taking your time out of your day to inform all of us about the qualities of our local stores to grab the right UTV ATV oils ‼️ Really great video really appreciate it!... 👍👍⁉️ I am sharing this video to friends to help your channels!! Cannot swit it anuff!! Thanks... 💥⛽🔥👍👍
Rotella is an amazing oil I run it through all my super sport motorcycles. It's holds its gold better then Amzoil my opinion though I have ran them both Rotella is just smoth in your bike shifts smoth more power. Trust me people just try it and it's 💯 Synthetic oil.... JUST TRY IT PEOPLE AND I PROMISE YOU WILL BE LIKE I AIN'T GOING BACK...
I’m sorry, but this is a very misleading video. I can appreciate that you tried to get the information, but it is incorrectly understood. More does not mean better. The results your showed are basic mass spectrometer results and show no indication of quality. Keep in mind that calcium and magnesium sulfates are detergents, but when heated turn to ash, which when it sits turns to acid…sulfuric acid, which corrodes metal. So, you need just enough to clean, but not enough to be problematic. Phosphorous and zinc are anti-wear, but change sheer strength of oil film, and make it brittle. Additionally making it too slick prevents proper ring seat and on a new motor will require a rebuild and reseat if the ZDDP content is too high. So, you want enough to lubricate and prevent wear, but not enough to hurt film strength. The lab test you had done was not a proper oil test which should have shown the curves in contrast to efficiency and ratios.
@@armedfarm3429that’s incorrect. ZDDP’s primary function is anti-wear, but it absolutely does decrease friction, and in high levels will have a negative impact on ring seat of a fresh build.
@@raredesign Wrong, ZDDP starts to work as an anti-wear additive when a higher temperature is reached & it increases friction. Moly decreases friction & has a negative impact on new ring seal. When you have a Jaso rated oil it's because increased ZDDP is higher & can be used in a wet clutch. Get schooled.
@@klxboy9994 Awesome, I am sold, literally. I went down to walmart and picked up a gallon of T4 for only $16, 15w40. Almost the same price as a single quart of "motorcycle oil". My owners manual calls for 10W40, do you think the viscocity of T4 would be fine? Should I use the same oil change intervals? Guy at the shop said diesel engine oil actually last longer. Who would have figured. hahah
@Felipe Tejeda the viscosity of 15w-40 has been just fine. No issues. Even in freezing Temps. Which I have done many times. It's very acceptable for summer Temps.
I'm assuming the Rotella T-6 is safe for a wet clutch system. I have only used full synthetic Castrol Power 1 4-T in my ATV. Does the Super Tech ATV oil state it's safe to use in a wet clutch system ? Just wondering because I know for a fact if you run a wet clutch system you can not use a oil with friction modifiers..
I have a suzuki bandit motorcycle also and in it I run Rotella 15-40 diesel oil as it is certified for wet clutch and motorcycle. Not sure if that helps or not.
@@damon323 My conclusion was any oil that is JASO-MA or JASO-MA2 is specifically designed for 4 stroke motorcycles with a one oil system. ex. engine, gearbox, wet clutch all lubricated by the same oil at the same time. With no exceptions. So if the super tech oil has JASO-MA or JASO MA-2 stamped on the bottle you are in the clear..
@@chris55130 I came to the same conclusion Chris! And based off lab data testing I’ve been able to see here and ATV forums, Supertech looks pretty legit. I bought some from Walmart. But I think I’m gonna try Amsoil out instead. I hear it makes it shift like butter and I’m already a preferred customer. But I’ll try the Supertech down the road.
T6 5w 40 in everything, zero turn, push mower, atv, pressure washer, kids atv.
Just put T6 5w-40 in my 2014 RZR, had questions, this answered them, Thanks for taking the time and the info, will be using Rotella from now on.
I'm glad it helped! I run it in all my engines now.

Great informational video. I wish you would have recorded it in wide-screen format.
Thanks. Me too but with the window to my left and the random stuff to my right, none if it would have looked good in the video.

Nice video. What type of transmission fluid do you like other than the Polaris agl fluid?
Thanks man! I was looking for a video like this. Finally found it and I would hide my address and phone # in the oil information papers
Glad I could help. Feel free to share it.

I have been using T-6 for years Even in my Harley. I use it in my 900 xp SxS & 4 wheeler.
T6 is far superior to the Polaris branded oil. Run it with confidence. The Magnusson-Moss warranty act forbids Polaris from doing that.
I have been using rotella t6 for many years on many many atvs and love it great video
Thank you so much! Been looking for this

Rotella T6 is all I use for my utv
For the old flat tappets, use STP, it has the zinc needed
Any chance you did mobil 1 oil in your comparison? Great vid thanks
I'm also interested in Lab results from Rotella T4 and T5 Oils?
Have you compared amsoil to the 3 that you have currently sent off? Amsoil is all I use in my truck, sxs, mower, and wife's car.
I have not yet. I want to send that in as well as comparing some trans fluids.
Thanks for all the information, very helpful and good vidéo.
Thanks for doing this test.

ZDDP does not decrease friction, It's a anti wear agent. Moly will decrease friction, , you don't want Moly in a wet clutch oil. Zzinc is fine.
It says JASO MA/MA2 on the bottle, that's good enough.
@@mr1bienvenu1I take it you didn’t read what I wrote. Okay.

😊 apparentlly Walmart oil is definitely better but I'm going to have to try T 6 😉
Very nice video and home work. Thank you!
Thank you. I hope it helped.
Nice work. Thank you
Ive been using Rotella T4 and T6 in my motorcycles for the last decade. Nothing but great success and I refuse to buy anything else.
What bikes do you run them in? I'm considering buying T6 for my suzuki DR650 instead of paying $16/qt for the motorcycle specific oil.
@@felipetejeda7545 Kawasaki KLX250 and an old Ninja ZX600. They both work absolutely wonderful after 10 years of straight T4.

End of the day the polaris you're just paying for the name.
What is the Calcium for the rotella ? I didn't hear you mention that.
Great info man thank you.
Would rotella be good for an older Yamaha grizzly 400 atv. Thanks for the video
Rotella 15w40 full synthetic
What about the additive zddp that comes in 2 oz bottles. Any harm to add that to those oils.
I was told to use PS4 for my 2013 /330 trail Boss can I get a different oil ?
What oil filter do u run ? I see u run the 5-40 would 10 w 40 be ok ?
Great video. 👍
I run t6 in everything without an issue.
is that Rotella 5-40 "Heavy Duty DIESEL" engine oil? DO they have one that doesn't say diesel? Trying to buy the correct one.
Really informative video.
Good video boss 💯👍🏾
Awesome rotilla all the way
