i've been running Rotella T since 06 and I have about 150 hours on a stock motor. (pipe, filter, cam). I change filter and oil about every 5 hours. I am also still running the stock clutch. I dont use it much so that also a contributor for it still being good.

Diesel oil doesn't hurt the quad at all? I'm thinking about switching over to it for the price....and doesn't it have to be a motorcycle safe oil?

Thanks
