I've noticed that a lot of people use Shell Rotella T 15w-40 oil?

Isn't this oil for cages?

If you going to use Shell shouldn't you be using Shell Advance Ultra 4 10W-40, 15W-50 fully synthetic 4-stroke motorcycle engine oil.

That oil is a heavy Duty Diesel Engine oil . I imagine it does a fine job in such engines but I've seen a Honda 929 crush it into a 30wt at under 2k miles . A 954RR used it and faired a bit better at 3k but not by much . Protection was ample but the Viscosity Index Improvers were whacked into oblivion and once sheared they are rendered useless .

Oils like the above , Delvac 1300S , Delo 400 ect are good oils for what they are made for and that is to disperse soot from that dirty diesel fuel for long periods but IMO there are many alternative and better choices for todays bikes .
