I don't know of any other diesel or automotive oils that meet those standards, including the Mobil 1 I'm using.

    Switching may not be an option these days as Rotella is in short supply. Last week the local Walmart had some on the shelves for the first time in months, but it quickly disappeared.
    I used Rotella T6 5w40. Shifting seems normal to me.

    Okay, I add to the mix, I have been using this, works on my Ironbutt rides has no issues, is delivered to my door, and at a good price.

    Change oil every 5K miles on principal, regardless of brands I have used prior.

    5K is just cheap insurance.
