I've run nothing but Honda oil and OE Honda oil filters in my machine since it was new.

10w-40 synthetic blend spring and fall, 20w-50 synthetic blend in the summer. Great oil.

if im not mistaken the oil has to be for wet clutch type. the Rotella doesnt have that correct? we run that in all our diesels

Ive been running Cenpeco Super Racing Oil in my EX. Been running their products in all my vehicles and equipment. Very good analysis on my motors, other guys in the area have similiar results. Ran Honda oil prior to that.

Ive heard of plenty of people running it with no issues and I honestly might switch myself cause the mobil 1 is $$$ like 3/qt.

HP4 baby! Might be more expensive, but I figure, the one place that you don't want to skimp is your power plant.
