The Rotella synthetic meets all the criteria for the motorcycle oil certification, they just haven't bothered with the expense of having it certified, I guess, if you think about it, the volume they sell this stuff in is so large that even if every motorcycle in the country used it it just wouldn't make much difference to them. My Ford diesel trucks used 4+ gallons (yes gallons) per oil change. (15 qt pan + 2 qt filter), and that's nothing compared to a big rig diesel!

All I've used in the last 20,000 miles is the Rotella synthetic in my motorcycles, good stuff and it's less than $20 a gallon at Wal-Mart.

For that matter, it's the only oil I've used in my cars and trucks for the last five years or so.
