Rotella T4 or T5 15w-40 ?

Hello. What is the difference from Rotella T4 and T5 oil?
Previous I used T4 but local stores are out of stock but T5 is available. Is it ok to use T5?

On the back of the jug it will list the spec's the oil meets.
What you are looking for is JASO MA
If it doesn't have it, don't get it.

T4 is a semi-synthetic oil. T-5 is a full synthetic oil. Both are good to use in a wet clutch motorcycle.

Not correct. T4 is conventional, T5 is synthetic blend, T6 is full synthetic. T6 is awesome. I've used it in many different bikes with great results.

I’ve used T4 for a long time as well and have had good results throughout. Saves a little, a buck or two.
Oh, my truck uses it too. 😎

If you change your oil regularly, conventional oil is just fine. If you operate under severe conditions, or do not change regularly, semi is a good idea.
