yep, I'm sure you're right!

M1 15W-50 by the gal. at Wall-Marts for around $20 or so...

Sorry about that

 

i've been using rotella T synth - 10w-40. but for the summer & track days i'd like somthing a little thicker ...

i've read all about how mobil 1 (red cap) was the oil of choice but they have discontinued it.

is this what everybody ( that uses mobil 1 ) is using ?

yep, I use it...

M1 15W-50 and you can get it by the gal. at Wally World for $20 bucks or so

 

I've used Mobil 1 "15-50","10-40" (High Mileage formula), and "5-40"(Truck & SUV formula) automotive oils in my bikes with no ill effects such as cam lobe pitting, flaking, or scoring. As the government keeps raising the bar on what's allowable for emissions, oil companies are constantly reformulating and cutting back on zinc, phosphorus, and other components that used to resist wear. Aftermarket camshaft companies and old car and bike restorers are seeing many problems related to the latest government mandated specs. Kawasaki owners have been debating the oil vs. metallurgy problem for twenty years or more.

 

There's such a thing as motorcycle oil?

 

Here is an article a friend emailed me a while back about motor oils... some good reading in it.

The author also noted the following in the forum tiopic:

<<I can't say much right now (because I don't have all the information compiled), but I can accurately
state that current-spec (CJ-4) Rotella T STILL CONTAINS A SUITABLE AMOUNT OF ZDDP, and that
Amsoil's AMO 10W-40 and ARO 20W-50 still contain the "good stuff."

FLO2, better than that. The M1 jugs are actually 5 quarts.

 

i use royal purple in my car and bike diff weights though

 

RK1, so what you're telling me is that a gallon isn't 5 qts?

You're right of course those jugs of M1 15W-50 at Wally World are 5 qts for around $20 bucks!

Gotta love a good oil thread....LOL!

 

Yup, that's what he's telling you. 1 gallon=4 quarts

 

So that's why the whole jug wouldn't fit...

 

Gotta love marketing. 10 hotdogs, 8 buns

 

I have found buns sold by the 10 pack...and if you smush them up good, they will lube your engine better than any of those oil things ya'll are all talking about.!

 

 

 

KC, do those buns have Molyb in them?

 

More

 

Not again

 

LMAO!!

 

She was the clerk that ran the register when I checked out..How did you know that?

 

So what kind of oil do you guys cook with?

 

Cuz she told me and she said you'd paid pre-maturely...

 

I'm an olive oil man. I used to use that popeye oil, but it's energy conserving now and will make your spatula slip.

 

I don't cook...wifie wont let me near the kitchen

 

Not just virgin. EXTRA virgin. What the hell IS that? Hey! it's better than new!

 

Hey Guys? Local bike shop stated that they use amsoil synthetic but offer mobil 1 synthetic for those who ask..........Did some research about amisol and that seems to be some bad as oil.

Amsoil the first synthetic, made to last 25,000 miles...thats what their website claims and from other forums about motor oils in general it seems to be the antidote... therefore i will be going with the amsoil for the Hawk
