I am currently running the Fuchs Silkolene. Has anyone else used this? This is the only oil I have ever used so I don't have anything else to compare it to. Fuchs is all the owner of the shop I go to sells.

Any opionions????

14,500 miles -- 14,100 miles on synthetic. Before that a turbo busa with over 35,000 miles using only synthetic.

Hes got a 1kRR, check his gallery. I believe that he also mentioned that he had to get shoulder surgery due to the busa so he got the 1000RR.

Oh boy... another oil thread [sm=icon_quiet.gif]

Anyways, I religiously use Mobil 1 redcap 15w-50 (car oil) full synthetic non energy conserving, of course. Use that during the summer months. During the winter I use Mobil 1 MX4T 10w-40. Changed every 5000 miles with an OEM filter. Bike currently has 56,600 miles and I've been using this combo since 5000 miles. No problems whatsoever, bike still runs and sounds like brand new and doesn't burn or leak a single drop of oil. I never have to add any and I check it each time I change it and the level is exactly where it was when I put the oil in 5000 miles prior.

For what it's worth, I also use Mobil 1 greencap 10w-30 and a Puralator PureOne filter on my car, also changed every 5000 miles. It has 371,400 miles on 100% original motor, and still runs and sounds like new. Actually the last compression test I did indicated that the engine had virtually zero wear as far as that goes... had a max 4 psi variation from lowest cylinder reading to highest. Doesn't burn a drop of oil either. Not bad I'd say... gotta love Hondas!!
