What oil do you use in your bike, and why?

Amber Lamps · 02-26-2009, 12:25 AM

Amsoil 20/50. I've tried Maxim 4,Golden Spectro,Mobile 1,Repsol...fuck,I've used them all I think. I really like Amsoil or Mobile 1 bike specific 20/50. I'm with Was on one thing,and I challenge both Zed and Zukimon to try this. Switch to Mobile or Amsoil and see if your shifting doesn't improve 100%!

I was gonna say the same thing, only I have a HONDA, and my reasons for no problems are not due to a dry/wet clutch.

:-X

I'm going with either Amms, or Mobile. Most likely Mobile as I cannot see paying double for oil that may or may not be better than this.

i said you'd see an improvement and Amsoil and Mobile 1 cost about the same around here...

I've used Golden Spectro for years.

In before the lock.

And...I'm actually gonna agree with Tigger...

Amsoil V-twin oil. Shit is unbelievable. I run it in the engine and primary...shifts smoother, runs cooler, quieter, and fan comes on less. And at $13 bucks a quart it damn well better.

That's the stuff BMW packages for their 'non-synth' oils. All of the synthetic stuff is AMSoil.

YMMV... :shurg:

I don't doubt that I will get smoother shifts with the synth, that's why I am going to use it. Around here Amsoil is $11 per quart and 10-40 Mobil 1 is $6.99

I just can't justify the difference in price to get the Amsoil.

Is that the Mobile 1 CAR oil or the bike specific? The rumor is that the M1 car oil is group 3 and the bike oil is group 4 or 5 still.
