I just drained a crankcase's worth of oil from the Scrambler and while it was draining, headed over to my local shop for some motorcycle oil. I've been using Mobil1 synthetic 10W40. They wanted $15 a quart for it. I swear they increased the price 50% since I last bought it. Well, screw that. I think its time to switch over to diesel oil and specifically, Rotella T6. I can get 5 quarts of it for less than half the cost of the motorcycle specific oil and I've never had trouble running it in motorcycles before. I think I used to put it into the black/red XJ, exclusively, until I gave into marketing hype. Anyway, just sayin'.
