What kinda oil??
« Reply #15 on: May 08, 2006, 06:21:40 PM »
The motorcycle-specific Mobil 1 only contains about .03% different stuff from the automotive stuff.

I use & get the best results with the automotive 15w50.  The price has gone up on it now however to $27 for a 5 qt. jug at Wal-Mart.

The other weights are still around $20 for 5 qts... but they don't work as well IMO.

I think I will try this stuff next though...

It's about $2-3 more per qt.

I go to Mobil 1, 15W-50 at the first oil change  --  have done that for the past 28 years and almost as many bikes with NO problems.


 :monkeymoon:

I could be wrong but I don't think they've been making M1 15W50 for 28 years.

Go for MOTUL 5100, if you can buy it where you live
I use it and most the Suzuki racing superbikes use this brand also
Good oil, not too expensive

That's what I use... but its expensive here (or at least in my world) $25-30 for 4L.
