FE350, I can see that you aren't understanding what I asked for. Let me give you an example:
Question: is Shell Rotella T6 "diesel" oil acceptable for use in gasoline engines? Answer:
See in the first photo "gasoline engines". This oil has received the API rating "SM". The answer is YES THIS OIL IS AS GOOD AS ANY RECEIVING THE SERVICE RATING "SM".
Next question: is Shell Rotella T6 exceptable for use in a 2007 BMW K1200GT motorcycle?
This is from a 07 BMW K1200GT owners manual. API service rating "SG" and JASO "MA", viscosity 10W-40 is what the manufacturer has specified. Any oil receiving this (or higher) service level is acceptable to BMW and will not void the warranty.
Here we have what the service ratings mean and note the wording
"For automotive engines the latest ILSAC standard or API Service Category INCLUDES THE PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES OF EACH EARLIER CATEGORY AND CAN BE USED TO SERVICE OLDER ENGINES WHERE EARLIER CATEGORY OILS WERE RECOMMENDED..."
So S(H-I-J-K-M -N) can all be used to replace the obsolete category "SG".
For the JASO MA rating required for the 07 BMW, go back to photo #1 T6 oil specs.
Under "specifications, approvals, and ratings" you will find JASO: DH2, MA.
And so Shell Rotella T6 meets the following specifications and ratings:
05W-40 viscosity
API SM
JASO MA
So the answer to the second question: YES, Shell Rotella T6 MEETS OR EXCEEDS THE REQUIREMENTS FOR BMW TO NOT VOID THE WARRANTY.
Now that you have an example of how to present FACTS on an Internet discussion forum, it's all yours. You can use photos of Internet google searched genuine API and A&S cycles, an authorized BMW dealer kind enough to provide free owners manual downloads) websites like I have, or you can provide Internet address links, or you can even Cut and Paste, ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN BLAH-BLAH-BLAH WORDS COMING OUT OF YOUR BRAIN. Because those convince no one about anything my friend.
Balls in your court. Let's see some facts. If you don't know how at this point you have absolutely no business trying to refute anything that someone else says on the internet because once again, the definition of an Internet troll is someone who starts stating BS and refuting someone else's opinions with no facts.
Prove me wrong FE350. Show everybody your facts. If you can't then once again...
YOU NEED TO SHUT THE F__CK UP AND APOLOGIZE. If you can't do that then [emoji867]Troll . Don't ever quote one of my posts again.
