@kinwei

 

IIRC you are riding Hayabusa? than this is for you:box:

[kinwei]

I've changed bike but same breed. Busa is well known to have robust engine. I'm not surprise if the engine still look good with any reputable oil. But it seems hard to get rotella locally. Anyway I'm sticking to maxima extra. Not the cheapest but also not the most ex. Works for me.

right after shutting down my bike, i took a peak down the engine oil pour hole.

 

i was surprise to find there is one thick layer of foam. oil used is Redline motorcycle oil. now who say motorcycle oil doesn't aerates:P i just wish i could take photo of it.

 

will check for foam again once i changed to HDEO to verify whether this is a Redline thing:sian:

[naim]

Interesting. Nv expected that from a great oil like redline. Keep us updated!

[slayer2cool]

Maybe your EO level not really correct thus it encourages foaming?

[altya]

Hmm, after using Schaeffer motorcycle 20w50 on both bikes for 1 week, felt its slightly on e thicker side, flow rate slower...

 

Both bike need to crank longer to start during cold morning but once its heated up, it works fine...

 

Time to change to 9000 5w40 next time...

 

For 7000 semi syn only have till 5w30, no 5w40??

 

Any equivalent cheap and awesome eo to recommend?

[Hydher]

hi whats your opinion of the rotella t6? you dont like it?

 

Well... its no mobil 1 thats for sure. Dont associate them to be of the same category.

 

Gear shifts was awkwardly squeaky at first and felt like crap. However, after a while, it got much much much better.

I hardly get clutch slips.

Well priced too.

Hoping its more shear resistant to schaeffers 9000, 7000, royal purple and mobil 1 15w50.

 

Anyway.......... I found out that if you need to top up oil,

Use marvel mystery oil instead of buying a new bottle of oil. You can put it in gas too.

For local products I find that the schaeffers are well priced for its performance and specs.

Only troublesome to have to change it yourself.

 

You might want to look into using a honda car oil filter if you have the space.

I am doing that.

[Hydher]

Engine oil drain valve. For ease of changing of oil. But ain't sure the threading fits.

I was tempted but do note that some people ran into some problems after installing it. Like slow draining, incomplete draining, leaks and faulty valve on the item.

The drain valve not so useful in my opinion. Considering u chg oil every few mths, what is 5 minutes compared to potential leaking or valve spoil. With drain plug, if leak, just change washer.

where to get motul EO at good prices?

[slayer2cool]

Mx trading. Generally most shops sells motul at about the same price, unless you buy in huge bulk?

[sylvain rollet]

the price too good to be true bro.

[ticks]

Do bear in mind that there are fake Motuls in Malaysia. Even my colleague in Malaysia say might as well change oil in singapore cos of the risk of putting fake branded oil into your engine.

[Isopropyl]

i think the new motul 300v have some sort of anti-tamper seal which you can verify online. i have not use the new version yet so i have no idea how is it like. i guess they are indeed having some problem with fake products in the market to implement such measures.

 

BTW, i guess Motul 300V might be a little easier to tell. it is hard to miss it fluorescent green colour and sweet banana smell unlike most oil that is amber in colour and have a distinct petroleum odor:smile:

 

quote from motul website:

 

MOTUL will be the first company in its sector to use the Bubble Tagâ„¢ security concept, guaranteeing product integrity and authentication. The consumer is now able to check in a fast and easy way his product integrity directly on the Internet. Indeed, the security seal fixed to the tin is endowed with a code related to every article, corresponding to the unique fingerprint of the product and guaranteeing its origin.

 

Castrol have used Hologram seal to combat fake. i have seen it and i think it pretty hard to fake. those i brought from Ah boy have the same seal as those i got from bike shop so i guess they came from legitimate sources.

Motul 300V Ester Core is not green? that funny.

 

according to Motul, it still still "Yellow / Green Flurescent"?
