Napa carries wix filters that are made for napa that are supposedly the same as the wix branded of any given number. However, they have 2 versions with the SAME number except for the first number which they say denotes the oil change interval. The filter i use comes in those 3 versions starting...

I hear conflicting info regarding whether in my case 10/40 would be fine or whether i should stay with the V twin i am using. Every case is of course different so, Triumph 1700 thunderbird cruiser, water cooled parallel twin with 6500 redline, so cal area with summer temps up to 110 or more...

Seems hard to find rue 100% true synthetic bike oils, especially when like me you aren't an oil expert by any stretch and therefore reading data sheets is greek to me. So what are some true all synthetic oils? Especially those at the lower end of the cost spectrum being a retired person living...

Anyone have an opinion on this? Preferably one based in solid experience rather then just using it and thinking it's great w/o reason. Because lets face it, a lot of people do that. I was using M1 V-twin before but it's a model that inherently has some piston slap and i thought this might help...

Is this a decent battery? I have had my batteries last such a short time in recet years i figure why bother with paying anything more than this. https://costco.interstatebatteries....69926&choice5=1569927&Country=US

...are exceptional at retaining oil integrity thru excessive heat? I ride in a lot of heavy traffic and am in a very hot area of the U.S. where my bike tends to kill oil very quickly, so i'd like to know if there are any bike oils out there that are known for exceptional resistance to heat...

I started using this and i really like the way it has made my triumph thunderbird run. But i used only half the quart. Seems like a quart is a lot to put in a bike that holds 4.5 quarts of oil. So the question is, does anyone here use it and if so how much do you typically put in your bike and...

I'm hearing this stuff is great oil, and i can really use the price break.Just how good is it, or not? Thinking of using it in my Triumph 1700 twin cruiser.

We know there are a lot of holdover ideas from days gone by that are no longer valid because certain things have changed. This seems like a stupid idea but it DOES seem to make sense. I like everyone have always changed my oil with a hot engine, waiting just long enough so that i don't burn...

I know little about oil, but from what i've gathered here and elsewhere there are only a very few oils that are true synthetics. Most oils labeled "full synthetic" like castrol are just dino with additives that allow them to call it synthetic. So what then is blend? I know when you're talking...

I have a triumph 1700 Tbird and i want to start using 10w-40 synth. But bike oil is so expensive i thought i'd inquire about this very inexpensive oil (especially for a full synth) because it seems like a lot of people like it. But the full synth rotella only comes in 5w-40 and i wonder about...

Is there one that most here would agree does truly help quiet noisy engines? I have a motorcycle who's engine make quite a bit of noise. Nothing broken, it just know as a noisy engine and if theres an additive that helps quiet it i'd like to try one.

W/O going into why i need this, (long story) does anyone make a bike oil that is either synth or semi and comes in 30 or 40 weight? Not racing oil either. Thanks

I asked this long ago but i forgot the answer and the search function has no advanced options. So i'm asking again. What is ok to mix and what isn't? Weights? brands/ Types? I have some 20/50 full synth ester based and some 20/50 semi synth blend with a LOT of moly, each a different brand. Can i...

I have researched this subject but i'm still a bit skeptical. A lot of people swear it works, but is there proof? It just strikes me that having spent a lifetime trying different chemicals in every imaginable cleaning application imaginable that to remove carbon in a combustion chamber with a...

I see you're supposed to put it in an almost empty tank than fill it up. can i not fill up THEN put it in? I ask because i want to use it in a motorcycle and carrying a bottle around isn't possible for me. It would be a lot easier to fill up before i get home and add it then. I surely don't want...

I'm wondering if i have a fuel issue that just started recently, and i have reason to believe it could be Ca's supply. As you know we have summer fuel that according to the news is in very short supply right now due to some refineries that make that fuel being closed. This is what they say is...

So we know, or at least i read here that you can mix different brands of oil. What about weights? what about types such as synth and semi synth? What if i were to mix 2 brands, one being semi and one full synth but both the same weight? And like the title asks, what should NOT be mixed ?

Do they make these made for cars, bikes or both ? Someone at a bike forum said they are good as any at $3 apiece from walmart, but i was under the impression using a car filter in a bike wasn't good due to the difference in bypass valve opening pressure differences. I was thinking about making...

I've askd about mixing before and got the ok, but i'm not sure how far you can take this. What about mixing Torco blend with motul 7100 ester? very different oilds, tho both 20w50. It would be 4 quarts of torco and 1/2 quart of motul. I only would do this because my bike takes 4.5 quarts and i...
