Default EXPENSIVE BUT WORTH THE TRY

LAST MONTH OUT OF THE BLUE I PUT IN FULL SYNTHETIC MOTUL MOTORCYCLE 10W50 OIL IN MY CAR, OIL COST ME $68 FOR 6 QTS, DAMN WORTH IT! I AVERAGE 350MILES/TANK BEFORE THE OIL CHANGE AND NOW 390MILES/TANK, NOTICED REAL BIG DIFFERENCE (THIS IS BASED ON NORMAL COMMUTE HOME TO WORK) EVEN BETTER IS NOW MY CAR ENGINE PURRS LIKE A CAT. WORTH THE TRY!

What kind of car was it? If his oil was blacker than black, it could have really helped efficiency. I can't speak to numbers but it is well known that oil/plug changed improve economy.

Why would you put motorcycle oil in a car?
That is just as strange as using car oil in your bike....
Sure they will work fine... but... I dunno.. Whatever bro.
If you are happy then it's worth it.

No way!! Can you hook me up? I've been running on ethanol but bananna peels and trash are cheaper.... Can you still hit 190+ on this method? (sorry, can't help it)

yes very true.. if you haven't changed the oil in like 15,000 miles yes it would have helped but if you change your oil every 3-5k.. oil is not goin to make a difference for the most part of 40+mpt
