Default New Rocker C owner here!
Hello i am new here and it is my first post I just got a new Rocker C and was wondering what type of motor oil some of you use. I used to use the Rotella full synthetic in a suzuki C90 I had. I would like to stay with a good synthetic oil.

Welcome to the club... It's a great ride... As for oil, I'm still using regular oil that the dealer put in at the 1000 mile... When I do the 5000 in the spring I'll be using either Royal Purple or Amsoil..

Welcome to the group.

I changed my oil to Royal Purple at 1,000 miles
