What Oil are all of us Aussies using?

[ozzieboy]

Mate I would love to live in NZ :thumbup: Top roads down there. I flew into Christchurch & drove to Queenstown for some snowboarding & spent the entire trip wishing I was on a bike.

Is about $90 for 4 litres at most places, but at the better shops, ie;maxi's, you can get it for about $70 for 4 litres.....

is worth the coin, if you spare it, but if not, the semi-synthetic 5100 is about $20 cheaper, and will serve you just as well!

If i had known you wre up and drinking Jules, i might of popped in for a quiet one on my way home from the hiiiiiiiiiiiighlandddddddder!

No just woke up had a dozen last night, but didnt quench the thirst. Im already running 5100 but as i mentioned it didnt fix any issues with my bike, so next change will step up to 7100, oil has only been in for maybe 500kms so not about to dump it just yet.

Bel-Ray make great chain lube......but i know that the YRT in Oz is sponsored by Yamalube...but the WSBK Yamaha team, uses Motul...

No Repsol option?

 

[Mac fz6n]

I tried Motul 5100, made a big difference with the "clunky" gear change :thumbup:
Now it's more of a "click".

Only done 2000 k's since i bought the bike, the guy said he'd done a change but I wanted to know it was fresh!

I used Motul as it was highly recommended to me......here :rockon:

This site has saved/helped me heaps, thanks to everyone who contributes.:hug:

Is it even available in Australia....have not seen Repsol at any bike shop i have been into...

Mine has lived on Motul 5100 from the beginning. Im hoping Yamaha hasnt been sticking it in my bike simply because its expensive as hell.

Nope....Motul oil is the real deal....by lots of people's opinions, and a proven track record for quiet motor's, and smooth gear changes.

:thumbup:

 

[coiled]

Motul is top stuff! I use it in my Subaru STi, in the car spec equiv, and my Yammie dealer opts to use Motul over Yamalube and I was very impressed that they do that. The first service uses 3100 and they said they would put in 5100 after that.

 

[Kriswithak]

I was told I got 7100 motul in mine its reddish. Does that seem right?

What weight oil is everyone using?

I thought the correct weight was 10w40 but when I called my dealer to ask what weigh 5100 they chuck in my bike they said 10w50.

Also what is the likely difference between these two weights?

The 10W50 just behaves better at warmer ambient temps really. So if your ambient temp is likely to exceed 40 degrees c then the 50 is the oil for you.:thumbup:

Too bad you guys don't have Shell Rotella 5-40 Full Synthetic available there.
Cheap as heck here and works great. Cost is about 1/2 of Motul.

Just put 2.6 litres of the red stuff in my bike this weekend....7100 rocks!

:rockon:

 

[JayJay]

Where in South Australia do you get the 7100?

Im looking to change the oil after the ride and for some reason Bills and Yamaha World dont have the Motul 7100...
