As for me, I find Shell Rotella T synthetic oil to perform flawlessly in both my motorcycles and cars over the years. Now, with my new Tundra, I plan to use it there as well. The best part is this oil is available at Walmart at a reasonable price so you don't get ripped off by the auto stores pushing the pricey stuff.
I haven't priced the Shell Rotella synthetic oil at WalMart, but I do know they also carry Mobil 1 synthetic (5W-20 at my WalMart) at slightly less than $22 for a 5 quart jug. That price certainly seems to be a lot less than you can buy it at most auto parts stores, or at least those in my home town.
