Aren't batteries the same way? All different labels and maybe 3-5 manufacturers.

“Gibraltar” 2016 white deluxe has been sold.
This is my first thread so don't beat me up to bad guys. I just started using the Shell Rotella t6 full synthetic 5wt40 in my Valk 98. Also using the Pure One # 14610 oil filter. Any comments good or bad i would appriciate it. A lot of people appear to be using this combination.
I'am looking for a F6B right now and looking forward to the purchase. It appears to be a great bike. I have a 98 Valk and just joined the board today and wanted to get a head start on meeting everyone. I want a wild color orange or lime green would be fine. Here in Alabama i need a color that these auto drivers will see coming a mile away. looking forward to everyone's opinion. Thanks

Start a separate thread and introduce yourself to the group.
As for your T6 and Pure One, I ran that in my 98 Valk also.
For the 6, I run the same oil, but a Bosch 3323 filter. The Purolator Pure One would be a PL 14612 or the longer 14610.
I'm over here in Pensacola and we have a few members in Louisiana.
And as far as being seen? Nothing compares with a "full light show."
Cheers,
Steve

When it comes to oil there is only ONE option - all others are pretenders:
I run a Pure One 14612 which is the shorter version of the filter and T-6! IMHO it's a great combination of protection for my bike. Both the oil and filter are reasonably priced and readably available. Good engine protection doesn't have to be pricey
I used to run Redline in my race car and my hotrod Harleys until I switched over to T6. Redline is costly but one of the best syns out there. Its also an oil that Amsoil doesn't claim to outperform.
In the Harley owners manuals it states if Harley oil isn't available then use a "diesel rated" oil.
All Rotellas are diesel rated and if its good enough to take a pounding and shearing from my big truck's motor than its good enough for any of my machines. I use Rotella in everything, even my lawnmower. As for rebranding, I believe Napa syn is Valvoline and their filters are Wix.
I remember picking up a load of batteries once from the Exide factory in Kansas. The pallets were a mishmash of 20 different battery or store brand names. Apparently rebranding is a huge industry in many markets.
