I use Rotella in my diesel dump truck and in my diesel backhoe but for my Hawk I use Valvoline 4 stroke motorcycle oil. I'm sure the Rotella would be fine but I just figure why not use the oil that is specifically designed for 4 storke motorcycles with wet clutches as opposed to an oil that can be also used for..... fill in the blank.... Just my opinion.

It is more important that you change the oil regularly than which one of these two oils you use.

My mustang and Dodge ram get Mobil 1 (the dodge has some screwball 0w-40 oil)
My Husky lawn tractor and air compressor get straight 30 (as per the manuals)
I get a single press extra virgin olive oil, preferably from Italy, with a nice Chianti.
