With no availability of Rotella T40 in the UK, just wondered what alternative engine oil you use for your big GS's

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Didn't you already post this question in another forum? No need to cross post.
Look for some diesel oil. Most all are fine for a GS. Castrol GTX diesel would be a good option. I think another UK member here uses that with good results.

Many thanks for the reply it is appreciated, apologies for the cross post just thought with question directed to UK owners it would not be seen buried in the other post
I've used Castrol GTX diesel for a good few years now, in all my bikes. Works fine. There might be better / cheaper / more expensive out there but it's seen my bikes ok.
I use Comma Mineral Motorway oil at ?9.95 a 5 litre can. I once used Silkolene Comp 4 as I use in the bandit. The GS clutched slipped like a '*******' and I had oil leaks from gaskets. Went to the Comma, no oil leaks and the clutch stopped slipping.
