Hi all , came accross this topic on this site Motorcycle Oils vs. Automotive Oils ,

and was wondering anyone got any thoughts on this ....

 

Interesting read; however, through all of it they didn't touch on something that (I) hear the overwhelming majority of the time between auto and moto oil: friction multipliers and energy conserving oils. And sorry to say this but don't be upset if no one else responds, there are numerous oil threads.

 

Hi CJardine .. whats your thoughts on it ... would you use A good Quality Car Oil instead ?

 

OMG Not again !

NO NO NONONO !
Car oils have additives that will cause your clutch to slip on a bike.
Also car oils have "short chain molecules" which will be smashed in a bike's gearbox in 1000 miles. Diesel is made of "long chain molecules"

Use Rotella T 10/40 0r 20/50 DIESEL OIL
WHY ?
Look up past posts - must be 300 comments on this.

 

I can NEVER understand why people want to cheap out on engine oil.

 

Simple Bordo Beer money v's Oil money !

Other than that I now have absolutely zero thoughts on the subject matter
as it has reached maximum informational storage capacity on the internetz.

LOL

Basically it's been beat to friggin' death

 

Hi Bordo . This is not someone looking for Cheap Oil , but someone how wants to find out if there is actually a difference . between both ... If there is not , we all are being ripped of by the big Oil brands

 

Like Sprock said Ken its now a boring subject. Its been flogged to within an inch of it's life on here and every other bike forum that's on the interweb. I find you get what you pay for. It's your bike put in it whatever you like.

 

Hi Shadow , had a look for this Rotella as its getting allot of internet time , I checked with Shell here in Ireland its seems there has been an upgrade ...Shell Rimula R4 X - Shell Global
