Shell Rotella Questions!!

05 Apr 2017 12:02

I am looking to use Rotella T4 15W-40 for my start-up/break in oil. I need to know that T4 is a petroleum based oil, and not a semi-synthetic or a full synthetic oil?? I don't like using anything but dinosaur oil for break in.

1972 H2 750 Cafe Racer built in 1974.
1976 KH400 Production Road Racer.
1979 Kz1000 MK. II Old AMA/WERA Superbike.
1986 RG500G 2 stroke terror.
1986 GSXR750RG The one with the clutch that rattles!

Up in the hills near Prescott, Az.
