I have a 1985 Kawasaki Eliminator ZL900. It as just under 25,000 mile on it and I am looking to put a good quality motorcycle oil in it. I have run Bel-Ray semi synthetic as well as factory Kawasaki conventional oil. I do not ride this bike much at all, I am a fair weather rider at best!! I...

2011 Hyundai Sonata Valvoline Synpower 5W-20,found it at O'Rileys for $3.99 a quart.There is also a $25.00 rebate if you buy 10 quarts,So 10 quarts of Synpower ended up costing me $15.00 ($1.50 per quart) Changed factory oil out at 2200,now I have 5770 miles. planning on 5-6,000 oci's

You are forgiven..... ;o)

Thanks for the opinions. I think I will go with the Valvoline and run it 5-6,000 miles and see how it does. Scotty B

I have been reading on this forum as much as I can and it seems like 10cST @100c is what we are aiming for,right? The reason I am asking is because the oil's I am looking at using have lower numbers than that.... Mobil 1 0W-20 AFE is 8.5cSt @ 100c Mobil 1 5W-20 is 9.0cSt @ 100c Valvoline...

The local O'Riley's has it for $3.99 a quart...And there is a Valvoline rebate for $10.00 on 5 quarts,or $25.00 for 10 quarts... It says go to enginegauarantee.com and enroll using special enrollment code ORLY2141. Is Valvoline as good as Mobil 1??

I am changing my oil on Thursday. 2011 Hyundai Sonata 5,600 miles. I was leaning toward M1 Advanced Fuel 0W-20. I was also thinking about Valvoline Synpower 0W-20. I can't find the data sheet for the valvoline.... Which one would be better? I am in Northern Wi,so it will be cold here SOON...

The local Advanced Auto has a deal right now for 5 quarts of Valvoline Syntech oil and a Bosch oil filter for $26.99... What do you think of this oil? And how are Bosch filters? The price per quart of oil is normally $7.49....So, It seems like a pretty good deal!! Any thoughts??
