U can try my blended eo using fully sync with ester for $48 (3 litres) and tell here what you think of it. Better still, use X-1R and extend your interval change to at least 7k with maxs performance neglible wear and tear at hi-rpm. Don't try you won't know. Interested, pm me.

Motorcycle Oil vs. Automotive Oils

Surprising New Evidence on the Viscosity-Retention Question

http://www.nightrider.com/biketech/oiltest1.htm

 

Also, it should be noted that ZDDP is a "last line of defense"-type additive, generally only coming into play under extremely severe conditions where actual metal-to-metal contact occurs within an engine, something that should never happen under normal operating conditions.

 

By far the loudest and most-believed claim made for motorcycle oils is that they retain their viscosity longer than automotive oils when used in a motorcycle. The standard claim made in most advertising is that motorcycle-specific oils contain large amounts of expensive, shear-stable polymers that better resist the punishment put on the oil by the motorcycle's transmission, thus retaining their viscosity longer and better than automotive oils would under the same conditions.

 

The Spectro spokesmen were not pleased when informed of our test results, but when pressed, none could come up with a valid reason why their product should have scored the lowest, either. The only comment we got was, "We only wish you had tested our Golden Spectro synthetic instead of the petroleum-based Spectro 4."

 

 

Despite more than six months of research, reading all the claims and counter-claims printed by dozens of industry experts and lubrication experts, MCN cannot and does not purport to know all there is to know about the differences between automotive and motorcycle oils. However, what we do know is that we can find no substantive evidence that using a high-quality, name-brand automotive oil in an average street motorcycle is in any way harmful or less effective in providing proper lubrication and protection than using the more expensive, motorcycle-specific oils.

hmm guys..im a bandit rider... hmm and still a new one... i still yet to make my first EO change...

 

if i go to a shop and ask for an eo change.. will they clean up the oil filter too? or do i have to inform the shop owner?

 

and roughly how many bottles will my bike got to take in..?

 

i apologise for my noob question.. because.. i skipped "2b" bike and straight to "2a" bike.. so fundamental wise... almost zero knowledge...

 

thanks to those who keen to help out..

[dragonforce]

if you just bought your bike, probably just change and change EO together with your oil filter.. from there you can monitor when is the next time to change it again..

[mastera7x]

i heard roughly if change EO and oil filter together will be about $100++ ???

 

am i right? =\

 

 

could anyone tell me about wats the mileage expected to change eo ... like every 10k km ? 8k km... etc etc.. (just examples) but i just wanna know the average mileage...

 

and what kind of EO brand should i get it.. ? after reading this thread.. i got so alot of doubts to go the bike shop on my own... because i really dont know anything... ask my friend.. also they like cant be bothered...

 

I know now there's like many types of EO brand... but i dont know which one is suitable for my bike..

 

thanks for the help in advance guys..
