Oil Recommendations

Rotella T Synthetic 5w-40.....:thumbup:
That s what I used in my bike and cars....good products

I would shy away from dedicated automotive oils. It is hard finding auto oils that are not energy conserving (friction modifiers are bad for the wet clutch). A diesel oil is a better alternative, and designed for high stress use. Not wanting to start a oil war thread, most here use Mobil 1 15-50, Rotella T 15w-40, Rotella T Synthetic 5w-40, or the Mobil 1 Racing 4t 10w-40. There are a few Amsoil users here too. Run what lets you sleep at night.

I bought Yamalube 20W-40 today, at today's exchange rate it cost USD 29.60 for 1 US gallon.

I recommend that you use motor oil in your bike.

Yeah, but if I have a DUC do I use the extra virgin Olive Oyl?

Oh Popeye!

I use Amsoil. I like it better than Yamalube. It's shifts real smooth and It runs one bar cooler than the OEM oil. I came real close to using Rotella T but my youngest son needed some oil for his bike (Ninja 500) so we put it in his bike instead. Before using/switching your'e oil check the old threads on this forum before making a decision. Good luck.
