When I do a fresh change of Rotella in my bike, it shifts beautifully and reduces the slight valve train noise by at least 50%. After 6-800kms and a little shearing and breakdown, things basically return to normal. This same thing seems to happen with every brand of oil I've used (even with the M1 in my cars, but over a longer time frame).
I think you're right, kmoney. It's like when someone changes tires and says how amazing they are, and how everyone should immediately change theirs to this brand and model too. Yeah, they should feel good, you just replaced an old, worn, hardened old set of tires!
