The Best Oil for your Bike

[The_Pale_Horse]

While researching all over the net, It turns out that the Oil that gives the Best performance on a motorcycle is:

Rotella 5w-40 Synthetic from Shell.

I see a lot of ppl getting better clutch responce and engine life.
It works great at arround 20 degrees and hot at max 110 degrees

Since its not "fully" synthetic, its good for wet clutch bikes as well.

next good choise is 15-40 Movil.

IF you research on the net youll find the same results thing Im sure; So I will try it my self in my next oil change.

ive heard some good things about it and i may try it next time i change the oil and put a new clutch in

WOO, thats what I've been using ^^

[flawless]

yeah but that weight rotella is hard to find. Autozone, checker, walmart do not carry it anymore. I just switched to a fully synthetic 5w-30 oil. Fully synthed is the best

I use the Mobile 1 15w-50..... Never had any probs with it.... except i need to change it again soon, been near 3000!

Wow, I didnt know that Rotella was the end all/be all of oil for bikes! They should put that on their bottles if that's the case!





Ill stick to using Henry roof tar #108 in my bike.

I hear a lot of ppl sayng that fully synth is not good for wet clutch bikes. Personally I dont know though.

[flawless]

from experience it is!

The only thing that negatively affects a wet clutch is putting in an oil with 'friction modifiers'. Synthetic is what you want in all cases. I use Mobil 1 and Castrol Syntec/Superbike in my bikes and cars.

You dop not need to change a fully synthetic oil every 3000 or 5000 miles if it a good oil. Amsoil offers an oil evaluation where you send them a sample and they determine if the oil is bad yet and if you have large amounts of metal present.
My 2 cents

i havent changed mine since the 500 mile change when it was new. almost 3000 miles on it now. and the last cycle on the magnum i went 5000 miles lol. use mobil1 in both.

i change mine just about every 4k miles just for ease of mine. I ride my bike hard so i like to know the oil is always at its best
