Recently, I noticed Costco no longer carried Delo 400LE. I used up my last gallon changing my oil this spring, and looked for Costco's replacement for it. They had Shell Rotella T4, which did not seem as good, review wise, so I got oil for my smaller bike ( NC700X) at Wal-Mart, going to Rotella T6.
I now see that Costco is carrying their OWN brand of HDEO, and the price is really good- however, it does not hold a JASO MA rating- instead, it is a DH rating. I do realize that a lot of oil manufacturers are changing formulations for the new breed of lower pollution diesel trucks, and discontinuing older formulations. Is this because the newer formulations are backwards compatible?
I guess my bigger question is, are these newer DH rated oils compatible with our bikes? I have scoured the web, with no clear answer on this. I am really hoping they are, will make searches for oil a lot easier.
Ride Safe!
