Good oil in the Mobil 1 10w40 4T. JASO MA/MA2 spec is ultimately what you're after. I have seen no difference in SL, SN with MC specific oils. SN is backwards compatible with previous designations so covers all the bases. In truth, I have not had an issue running any oil that is JASO rated in...

I would put a second motion behind a 12-volt compressor. Never run out of air, need to refill along the way home you're not wishing there was a Co2 cartridge left. Rope plugs work for me.

Have not tried the Valvoline synthetic motorcycle oil. The additive package makes it a non-starter for the things that I want with a high revving flat tappet engine. I look at zinc and phosphorus, Mobil 1 has a good bit more of both. Mobil 1 also has a very good dose of boron. My UOA's show...

Mobil 1 10w40 4T needs no apology for being inexpensive. Definitely it's readily available as well. Motul is great oil as well based on enough reports to show that. Not just for 2,000 mile oil changes, either. This is for 5,000 miles in my experience. Maintains shift feel, great additive...

Nice to hear 99% of the time BITOG is where you are directed. Since 99.9375% of the users use complete product names based on data, doesn't sound like abbreviations are hurting anything. Nice to know that disaster was avoided. This site is too good to go away.

I have no clue why they're doing that, I'm getting edited for abbreviations, posts are fogged, help me boys.

Thanks for the explanations as questions are being asked. Carry on!

Unless there's a different concentration or formulation with respect to the motorcycle oil compared to the car oil, 4 or more 5,000 mile oil changes is 10 years for bikes getting ridden 2,000 a year. Do 5,000 miles a year, and that's 4 years. Ridiculous.

That's what I said in post number 37, once the full name is mentioned in a thread title or a post, I don't see where abbreviations water down content searches. Maybe it's only a part of a percent but abbreviations get them too. With respect, it is not enjoyable for the ones that show up here...

I appreciate what's being said about abbreviations. Post #3 and #4 have Valvoline restore and protect called out very specifically. If someone puts in restore and protect it's going to bring them right to this thread in a search. People read other forums, RP or R&P are commonly used, some...

I'm not set on dark mode with my phone, is there a dark mode setting for the forum that I'm not seeing possibly? In any case, when the post was quoted in #26, RP shows up clearly. However in the original post it is clearly gone.

I understand, however it's not like the full term wasn't already mentioned about a dozen times in this thread. The site must be needing the revenue. Can't blame them.

Good point 124 via 126. Counterpoint, when Valvoline Restore and Protect loosens up everything, it's not just cleaning the rings, it cleans everything, and the seal start to leak... I wouldn't be taking the chance on that vehicle in my experience with a 2010 Acura TL 3.7 that has known piston...

IMO, the next sample ought to tell you what you're looking to know about the lead.

When a rider takes care of the engine, will never need it. It's a solution in search of a problem with respect to 95+% of the motorcycles out there I bet. Guys run 5,000 or 7,500 miles on their car for an oci yet if mileage goes over 2000-2500 miles on their bike, the sky is somehow falling...

Reading the label, "100% synthetic", most likely puts it in the typical USA synthetic category that is not ester. Good point it could be from the increase in cost to keep a product in front of customers that's less expensive. Fortunate to have three changes of Redline left and two changes of...

My grandparents lived in florida, long since gone. I remember the white fine sand. That will bog the bike down for sure!

-What are/were you expecting the filter to look like at 320,000 miles with regular 5,000 mile oil change intervals? As has been shared, the filter looks great. - The filter is doing the job it was designed to do. The discoloration says it's catching impurities. No carbon or other bits is...

Thanks for sharing. I have not seen a recommendation chart that comprehensive. Never would think Honda would recommend 10 wt for up to freezing, lol.

@car54, You just stocked up on Maxima and another oil in quantity, and drained 300v after 350 mi. I'll give you my address and ship me the oil you drain as long as you keep it clean and I'll be in supply for a decade. Lol. I agree with japanese, there is no Motul 7000. @Japanese, The picture...
