It's not fluorescent green like the old 300V. It's more to yellowish.

[slayer2cool]

Color aside, is the new formula any better or good enough to deserve the price tag? Haha

both the old and new version spec sheet show the same "Yellow / Green Flurescent" colour so i thought the colouring is the same. haha...

 

anyway, thanks for the head up. might get a few bottles once my current supply run out. at least i won't freak myself out. haha...

Dunno. I got it quite cheap the other time. I don't really high rev my bike as I ride on the street most of the time so after awhile I feel it's a waste of good oil. So now I just stick to semi synthetic Motul 5100. At $18 per liter it's good enough for my 530cc pallerel twin engine bike.

for most people, i doubt so.

 

if you are racing and you need to squeeze every last bit of horsepower, then it is worthy.

 

also, high-end oil sometimes might provide some extra bit of time for you to discover some sort of oil system failure in your engine to avoid major damage but only can do it for so long. here is an example.

 

i think for most people, we just want the feel good factor of having the best things for our engine. it just like buying a Rolex when a cheap Casio watch is good enough to tell time.

Shell rotella T6 really damn good lah.

No wonder the hype.

Selfish of USA to not import it out.

If u all have the chance do try it ok.

Take note that for the first few hundred km it will feel squeaky after that very very very very shear stable, light, smooth and best fc.

Its not your motul 300v or mobil 1.

Buts it cost me 5usd a liter.

It is now $21.26. The price fluctuates abit sometimes but it often stay at this price. I bought from local walmart before and it's the same price as Amazon $21.26 + sales tax. $19.22 was the offer/promo period. Still a good deal for fully syn oil, don't think you can beat that locally.

Working well so far. Love the smoothness, but i did add liquimoly oil additiv to enhance the oil additive package. Worth the price man. Awesome product! Nw just need to see hw well it lasts, but surely no issue with my scooter engine. Pretty easy on oil

[altya]

Oh man, even at e normal price for a 3.7L Eo its still pretty cheap...

 

Anyone have spare 2.8L to spare? haha

[ber]

waiting to see if it would start shearing at above 600km. Any other sites in the us that have free shipping to sg？

[Isopropyl]

OT abit but still on lubrication:P

 

just brought a tub of Bel Ray Waterproof grease.

 

today started to work on greasing the Swing arm bearing and bolt after seeing my colleague Swing arm bolt got stuck and became impossible to remove without cutting it.

 

the last time the swing arm bolt of my bike was tighten by a mechanic with air gun. i spend slightly more then an hour of knocking, lots of hard cranking using extension bar for more leverage, ton of GT85 into the thread and still the bolt will not barge even a bit:cry: feeling too tired to go on, i decide to give up and bring it to a bike shop for help during my off day.

 

when i reached home, i told my old man what happened. the old man being an ex-mechanic just say he will help me with the task. we packed out tools and went down again. the old man took out his own tools as he said my tools are of poor quality:mad: i am not sure is that the reason or he has better techniques, the bolt cracked open just after a couple of crank:clap: i was like WTFo_O

 

proceed with greasing everything needed:thumb: should be good enough for a couple of years.

[naim]

Haha awesome. Probably his tools are not MIC. LOL. But seriously sometimes good quality tools help make the task easier. But in your case, maybe its the technique and experience la. Haha.
