i was told that valvoline 10w-40 is the best to use, so thats what ill be runnin when i get done with break in and i change the oil


whats everyone else use?

 

[tlronny]

I quite like the idea of Canola as I can fry up my bacon and sausages b4 a ride and use the left over to top up the LTR !

personally I like to use vegetable oil...you can find it at any dealer, just ask for "v-e-g-e-t-a-b-l-e o-i-l, they will know EXACTLY what your talking about.

 

[Butters]

so you guys got any usefull info?

 

[asinatra]

either...

suzuki 10w-40: they designed it so i think they know what it needs

redline 10w-40: you pay for what you get considering its about 9bucks a quart.

anything else is in the middle and just not worth it, redline has the best racing oils, additives and cleaners in the world(period)

I also use Valvoline, never had a problem with it. I've also used AMSOIL, but without my sponsor it would be expensive.

u use the regular SAE stuff that comes in the white jug?
ive heard a couple pro mechanics sayin valvoline 10w-40 is the best but im not shure if this stuff i got is the right stuff

Ive never been a big fan of valvoline. What ever you do DO NOT USE suzuki oil. They crap must be made in a sixth world country. Im using Royal Purple.

I just put in Roayal Purple synthetic......really made my motor quiet.......Love it so far I use 10-40 ATV

You know I was thinking.. I only had 4 hrs on my breakin oil and that crap was as black as the oil I take out of my diesel pickup!! The filter looked like $hit also!! Im thinking that Suzuki doesnt hold up the best!!

Rotella 15-40...good stuff and very inexpensive.

Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha oil...just an fyi, these are not oil companies, they do not produce oil. They make a deal with an oil company to produce, bottle, and distribute oil for them. Oh, surely they have some special blend just for them you ask...ugh, wrong again. To have a refinery create your very own special blend would cost millions of dollars and simply does not happen.

I work for a large oil corporation and we have an agreement with a major automobile manufacturer to produce, bottle, and distribute oil for them under their name. It is the exact same oil we sell under our name but in their bottle and 4* the price. Yet, folks insist on it and purchase it at their dealerships because it is "made" by the manufacturer and they know what is best...NOT!

Now, I can not tell you exactly how companies like redline, royal purple, maxima, etc work...but I have asked about it and the general consensus is there are varies grades of base stock oil. Obviously higher grades are better and more expensive. These companies either purchase whatever grade of base stock and sell it as their own, or place their own additives in at their facility...my money is on they are just reselling under their name and doing nothing to the oil but the marketing!!!

Each has their own opinion as I do and the above information is just food for thought. If you think brand X is the greatest oil ever made then run it and be happy. I am happy with my $7 per gallon Rotella!

I have run cenpeco lubes in my quads for years. i also run it in my trucks and tractors! im running straight 30 in my ltr now. any of you guys that are familiar with tractor or truck pulling know its the premier oil to run.

The Valvoline oil i've been using is 10W-40 4-stroke stuff in a Black bottle.
