Which Oil Is Best???

[EVLZX]

Just wanted to know which is oil is the best?

[K6Thou]

I find canola oil is the go for 'those special' moments.....




I only use Motul in my bikes though.....

[EVLZX]

So you reckon Motul?
Full syn or semi syn?
What special moments are you referring to?

[EVLZX]

What about Silkolene?

i use whatever is on special 20w50 in my bikes and cars. It works beautifully and gear changes are smooth as silk on the RSV... even though i very rarely use the clutch

[StuNVA]

I used Motul full synthetic in the Gixer and now the Tuono and just put some in the busa, not sure if the busa likes it as much as the other two did though.
I didn't much like the shell or mobil stuff, although the mobil V twin was really good in the Buell . The gixer amd Tuono gearboxs much prefered the dear stuff.

What about some of that Kmart brand car oil?

[Dynomutt]

It will depend on what bike you have, and what the spec of your motor is, there's no point in filling an old Zed up with a fully synthetic oil, and you wouldn't fill a K10 Gixxer up with a basic mineral oil.

most car oils ,have a detergent in them to clean and wash the cars motor,inside,these will dissolve your clutch plates ,if you hate your bike use cheap as oil,spending a little extra on a good brand of oil to suit your motor and model as Dynomut said,just go to your bike shop and spend ,kmart isnt for bikes.

What he said.

There isnt a right / wrong answer.
Type of bike ? Used for touring ? Abused at the drags ?
Used to cool too ? wet or dry clutch ?
Whats you budget ? Ice and Snow or tropics ?
Serviced regular or neglected ? Whats a good deal near you ?
If there was a perfect answer you wouldn't be asking the question.

A bit like what's the best Tyre ?

Personal choice and different situations.

[BANDITROD]

i use full syn motul in my gixxer and motul 5100 in all my other toys

[ALBI]

kmart oil $2 gunk up ur system cost you money

motul/sikolene etc $$$$$$$$ but keeps it healthy

[nick76]
