That's the stuff BMW packages for their 'non-synth' oils. All of the synthetic stuff is AMSoil.

YMMV... :shurg:

I don't doubt that I will get smoother shifts with the synth, that's why I am going to use it. Around here Amsoil is $11 per quart and 10-40 Mobil 1 is $6.99 :idk: I just can't justify the difference in price to get the Amsoil. :(

Is that the Mobile 1 CAR oil or the bike specific? The rumor is that the M1 car oil is group 3 and the bike oil is group 4 or 5 still.

Baby Oil, made from real babies. It is expensive but my bike deserves nothing less. :yum:

I think its car oil but can work in bikes. Some guys on the aprilia board use it. Not sure which it is its based on the color of the cap.

Amsoil 10/40 for years and years, smoother shifting, cooler running, hell probably even a tad more power


people will argue about oil till the end of time, if ya wanna run the cheapest stuff available or diesel oil in "your" bike go ahead


sure syn car oil is "good" but i dont see many cars taching 15k RPM's, and i dont see many diesels taching over 3k


all i know is run what ever you want, its your bike

if anyone wants to find out how their oil is performing you can go to Blackstone Labs, they'll send you a free test kit. it cost $22.50 for them to do the test.
