Anyone use Rotella T diesel oil in their gasoline e30?

[turge]

A major amount of guys in the atv honda trx450r forum use Rotella T diesel oil instead of running synthetic gasoline oil. Alot of the motors are extremely high strung and receive frequent disassembly; all the engine builders on there swear by it.

Considering TRX450R engines are flat tappet engines just like an E30, I think it could benefit from the nice amount of zddp, and phosphorus that hasnt been disallowed from being used in diesel oils like it has in gasoline oils by the EPA.

Anyone use it?

Would running the stuff affect smog at all for ur car? All I know is that I wouldn't try it in California if it did.

I was told by quite a few people in a recent inquiry that Shell Rotella T is the way to go, for the reason Parker said, it's good oil, and it's also dirt-cheap. A gallon is $12 at Wal-Mart.

I've never used it, but the rumors i've heard is diesel oil is high in zinc and therefor similar to the oil that was available to our E30's in the 80's/early 90's.

No personal experience though.

Have you owned or currently own an SV650? Those guys swear by that stuff.
