LOL! That's what I was thinking. Just get it from Mike for $59.99...it's always a nice feeling getting good prices. If you order more than 2 jugs he will ship for free also.

Rotella T6 = $50 at CT
Motul 5100 = $60 @ Bluestreak Racing
Motul 7100 = $72 @ Bluestreak Racing
You guys are getting all worked up over what exactly?
Are we going through a recession or something?
One is available at common retail locations everywhere. The other is not. When I need or decide to do an oil change at 5 PM on a Friday, I’m not interested in waiting three or four days for my oil to arrive.
It's okay if you're cheap. There's nothing wrong with penny pinching. But don't use the "readily available" argument to justify your cheapassness.
Motul is available at most motorcycle shops, and if you're a chronic procrastinator, you can order a few jugs online and have them sitting in your garage.
I understand saving a few bucks on big ticket items, but when we're talking about $10 here or there, like come on man... use the good ****.

Rotella is an oil that’s used in fleets of class 8 tractors, many of which exceed 1 million KM. We have one ex-highway unit in our fleet of city tractors that has 1.3m KM on it.
You don’t achieve that using garbage oil.
And excuse me for discounting claims made without evidence.
A lot of people fall for slick marketing that convinces them that more expensive must = better.

Haha! Yes Shane! You took my advise and still get the Motul from Mike eh? $60 for 4L of Motul 7100...Can't get much better than that
If Mike doesn't have it on hand, he will be able to bring some in for you in less than a week. I usually buy three 4L just at beginning of year from him. Including oil filters and crush washers it works out to being around $250 all in for 4 oil changes using Motul 7100 throughout the season.
Who's this Mike guy, and what kind of BJ's does he enjoy?
If I offer an intro, will you blow me to?
All Rotella T's are technically heavy duty (diesel) oils.
They can be used in gas engines, but the <T6 can poison catalytic converters due to the oils high phosphorus levels. On most bikes without cats, or without sensors post-cat that would detect a failure, it's irrelevant, and the extra zinc in the oil is actually quite good for small engines. The T6 is formulated to be less of an issue for cats which is why many opt for that with bikes.
I run T3 in my bike, no cat, and dino is cheaper than synthetic.
How does he sell 7100 for basically the price that everyone else sells 5100 for? That's a hair less than even what Pete's sells it at
Not wanting to waste your money isn't necessarily mean you're cheap. And paying top dollar doesn't necessarily mean you got the best quality.
