juz make sure its not cooking oil can oredi...heh..

 

most or almost all cooking oil packaging n bottling can see the content inside..

Motul 7100 is my best EO...

It keeps my XJR400R cooler & smoother....& my pockets is without holes too....Only S$24 x2 bottles for my Yammie....Sweeeeet honeys!

 

I dislike sikolene racing@S$15.....it not suited to my preferences.... no offence intended...

 

Just my two cents worth...

 

i frequently used Mobil 1 for my RXZ years & years ago....Good Good!

 

guyz...if most of u guys says maxima is gd, why most motogp using motul..no sign of maxima at all.. correct me if i'm wrong xafiq.. haha

 

Relaxlah its each rider preferences mah...some may feel other brands is better for their bike & riding costs mah bro...

 

Just my 2cents oni...Dont me, ok??

[phonehunter2002]

Semi syn...How many depend on your pocket...I alwasy change them at 2000km. But my mileage for a year about 10000km...My sonic 1000km per oil change......hee hee nothing beats new oil in your bike....I just liked that feeling..

 

Wah u change it at 2000Km??

So fast change?

Can this oil tahan until 5000KM?

[phonehunter2002]

is the brand Total?

 

 

I think so

[skateboy]

semi syn, recommanded maximum mileage is 3000km. if wanna use until 5000km, can! its ur bike rite?

[Crazy]

Some one told me this before "Its not how good you use, is how often is change" Anyone second this?

if you use good,maybe u dun need to change so frequent.

if u are loaded,u can change at every 1000km even though u are using the EO close to $30 a bottle..

that's too extreme already..but i guess there are people doing it,just that u n me dun know..

[skateboy]

the engine is good running on clean oil. semi syn is enough for road use. fully syn is ideally for race use but singaporeans kiasu so use fully syn for every oil change. some even use fully syn for running in which is totally waste of money.

There are few school of thoughts, those who used very expensive oil to protect the engine.

Those who frequent oil change.

Those who bo kan lan the oil use wat ever engine oil to put into their engine.

 

Let's put it this way most bikes manufueraters' engineers had put their product in worst case scenario and make sure they wont fail as well. Do your owner manual told you to use fully syn oil. If not the bike engine would spoil. i am sure if you are the engineers, you wont risk the manufacturers reputation on stake. If the owner manual didnt stated anything and use the oil according to the spec, things would run fine as well.....As the bikes was shipped all over the world, engineers had to think of worst case scenario that the engine might not be running good oils or fully syn oil might not be available in some remote area of the world.

 

I would say just use whatever that suit your pocket simple as that, change according to the recommended mileage stated in the OM. Those who feels good by spending more...Why not is your money is your bike...So far no oil tests had suggested use semi or mineral oil would accelerate tear and wear even lead to engine failure even if you dont use expensive oils even in high performance engines.

I support frequent oil changes

[PaLmEr]

for those who use this oil, able to take a picture of the bottle and PM me? I'm compiling a list of products.
