An excellent product for the gear box of your off-road motorcycle. You get a gallon for the price of a quart of boutique oils. I have run Rotella for 15 years and never a problem. I get long clutch and bearing life.
Most Liked Negative Review
Never again
Warning - the container leaks if they fall over in your car! No secondary seal under cap. Only 4 quarts, not the 5-quarts sold by most brands

The upgrade from 15w-40 T3 to T4 is night and day
Verified Buyer - Submitted a year ago
My 1994 F350 7.3L with 270k seemed to idle a little rougher running T3 but when I took the leap on running T4 I couldn't be happier. My diesel runs like a brand new truck and no more leaking! My truck has been brought to a new level with Shell Rotella T4 15w-40 ! Very excited to see how she runs the next 3 to 4k miles ! Definitely an eye opening experience in my journey with this truck .
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

what is the TBN of rotella oils
Verified Reply - Solomon
Hi DB, I'm glad to help you! SHELL ROTELLA Total Base Number (TBN) measures how much base (as in base vs. acid) additive is in the oil to offset the effects of acids coming into the oil from combustion and other sources. Since there is no product link on your submitted question. For further assistance, please provide us with the year, make, model and engine size of your vehicle with the part number of the product along with your inquiry.
