Thanks for the comparison charts. I really don't know what I'm looking at as far as what is good and what is bad. All I know for sure is that for Dirt Bikes with wet clutches apparently the lower the moly the better, whereas in car/truck applications I think the higher the moly is better??

That's great. Thank you. Now when you refer to having "more grip" are you talking about in the clutch???

Thanks for the advice. I DID go with Amsoil and we'll see how that goes. I'm confident it will be as great as everyone says it is. M1 is available in Canada and I used to be able to get it at a decent sale price, but it's nearly doubled over the last 4 years or so. I used to buy M1 for a...

Awesome video! Thank you!

Thank you! Yes, that Liqui-Moly IS a decent price compared to others for sure. A friend of mine uses it exclusively, and I'm sure I'll end up trying it eventually, but for now I'm going to go with Amsoil and see what all the hub-bub is about.

THANK YOU! I'm sorry for the late reply, I just noticed it today (almost a month later). So I DID go the Amsoil route. It is certainly on the high side of expensive, especially with the exchange rate, but it arrived without issue and I'm glad I got it. I've always wanted to try it and I've...

Well, we decided on Amsoil 10W40 Dirt Bike Full Synthetic. I've always wanted to try Amsoil, so finally did it. We did the first oil change after 5 hours and man did it ever need it! It just glistened and swirled with silver metal when we drained it in to the used oil pan. Those brand new bikes...

Sorry...I replied to the wrong message here.... Can't for the life of me figure out how to delete a message after it's been posted....???

As I've mentioned over the last couple of days, I bought my boy a brand new 2025 Honda CRF250F Dirt Bike. That model shares the engine oil with the clutch/transmission, so I guess that's what they call a "wet clutch"?? It has an oil filter as well. I live in Canada, so most of the easy to buy...

It's not overly expensive, compared to other brands, but it's not synthetic either. It took me a looooong time to jump on the synthetic band wagon years ago, and I'm glad I did. Unless the same benefits of synthetic oil for passenger vehicles is different for dirt bikes, then I'm kind of...

@Ride_Red when oil info uses the term "wet clutch", does that mean that the clutch/transmission shares the same oil as the engine such as on the dirt bike I just bought?

Haven't been on this forum for well over a year, but read this thread as I've always been interested in Amsoil and have always wanted to try their oil, but I've never been much interested in their filters as I've found the USA made WIX ones fulfill all my needs, and I buy them 3 or 4 dozen at a...

Thank you, and yes, it does have an oil filter. That was going to be my next question. I bought 2 genuine Honda oil filters for it today for $12.76 CND (I'm in Canada), but there is no shortage of filter options on Amazon as you say. Now IF they are any good is another questions. My years of...

Awesome! THANK YOU! You answered several of my questions in your reply. So I've bought a 1 gallon jug of the Honda GN4 today (which is dino oil) as that is what the dealership claims is in it right now, and I'll use that for the first oil change after 10 hours of use (the Honda CRF250F has no...

Thank you. I just did some searches and I now understand that 4T oil is for 4-stroke engines (which is what the Honda CRF250F is), so that solves that for me. In the Owner's Manual it recommends 10W30 or 10W40 but the graphic of when to uses either doesn't show the outdoor temperature range...
