Thanks for the feedback fellas. I'm going to do one more batch of normal 5W-30 in the Subaru (60,000 miles) and then start using HM on the next change.

Is there any concern with using Mobil 1 High-mileage 5W-30 in a car with low miles? I use the High-mileage version in my Dodge RAM with around 100k. Both vehicles use the same weight oil so it would be convenient to just purchase the High-mileage version for both. Or conversely, is it foolish of...

Any compelling reason to change weights?

I'd like to put in a synthetic oil this weekend. I'd like to see if the forum has some recommendations. 1. What kind of vehicle you have 2004 Dodge RAM 1500 with a V-8 5.7L HEMI 2. What your owner's manual says -- not just viscosity, but certifications (look for acronyms like API SM, ILSAC...

Thanks for the info guys, it really helps! I am aware of the motorcycle section but my initial question was about the high mileage 10W-40 oils which seemed more appropriate for here. This was my third oil change for the bike at 2,317 miles. I think I'll be set until next year (after my...

BTW, I want to say it's nice to be able to talk oil freely on here. On my Kawasaki and Dodge forums all I ever see are back-handed comments for not doing a search first or even bringing up the subject of oil because of everyone's different opinion. Personally, that's what I'm looking for...

My bike does have a wet clutch. I didn't realize having too much friction modifiers was bad, if anything I would have thought it was good. If the ideal thing to look for is JASO MA, will I find that in auto synthetics too? I'm open to a 5W-40, I was just trying to stay with the manufacturer's...

The manufacturer (Kawasaki) recommends 10W-40 for my motorcycle. If I want to stay with this weight and use a synthetic oil is it OK to use one that is labeled for high mileage cars? I just want to make sure there are no additives that would harm my engine. From what I read in the John C...

I tried searching the site yesterday and couldn't find an answer to this question. A few days ago I went looking for a synthetic 10w-40 for my motorcycle. It seemed like I couldn't find one that wasn't marketed toward high mileage cars. I'm curious why that is? I ended up getting Mobile 1...
