Starrider04 Posted October 4, 2006 #1 Posted October 4, 2006 What oil do you use in your bike and why?
Tartan Terror Posted October 4, 2006 #2 Posted October 4, 2006 I use the Amsoil Synthetic oil 10w-40 (Motorcycle Specific) I have used others and just feel the bike runs smoother as well as researching all the data and checking ratings. I have used Amsoil in all my vehicles including truck and all the drivetrain in it.
Freebird Posted October 4, 2006 #3 Posted October 4, 2006 WARNING WILL ROGERS!!!! WARNING WILL ROGERS!!!! OIL THREAD!!! Mobil 1 Motorcycle Specific MX4T I've been using it since 1999 and have always been very pleased with it.
bongobobny Posted October 4, 2006 #4 Posted October 4, 2006 Presently using Chevron Delo 400 because a motorcycle oil website recommended it. Next year may start using synthetic possibly Shell Rotella synthetic as it too was highly recommended...

Squidley Posted October 5, 2006 #7 Posted October 5, 2006 Hmmm isn't that WARNING WILL ROBINSON? He was thinking of Lost in Space & Buck Rogers at the same time Besides we needed this kind of post after the BIG crash
Freebird Posted October 5, 2006 #8 Posted October 5, 2006 LOL....I do believe you are right. Oh well....Will Rogers was also a good guy
Guest Thumper Posted October 5, 2006 #10 Posted October 5, 2006 Probably could have made this a survey. Amsoil 10W-40W Synthetic is my choice. During the summer months I use 20W-50W. Really hot in Florida.
RustyNails Posted October 5, 2006 #11 Posted October 5, 2006 I have been using Castrol Since I started riding in 1959, I have never had any trouble with it and haven't seen any reason to change.
darimont Posted October 5, 2006 #12 Posted October 5, 2006 I use Castrol Sen Tech 10w40. Never had a problem with it in the last two bikes.
Stoutman Posted October 5, 2006 #13 Posted October 5, 2006 Just switched to Shell Rotella 15W40 after running the Shell Rotella 5W40 synthetic. The synthetic came out of the bike real clean, like it was only a month old. I switched to the 15W40 to see if it would lessen the whine a bit. I think it did so I'll see how the 15W40 looks when it comes out of the bike. If it looks real clean I may put it back in again next summer.
Guest tlw Posted October 6, 2006 #14 Posted October 6, 2006 Just switched to Shell Rotella 15W40 after running the Shell Rotella 5W40 synthetic. Me too!
