I wonder if the addition of 7000 to the US market is a result of base stocks just no longer being economical due to the offline refineries in the middle east. It is labeled made in USA just like every other motul product on the shelf at Autozone (3000, 7000, v twin engine, primary and gearbox...

I only drained the 300v to give the Maxima a try since I bought 10 gallons and have ADD. i saved the 300v and I suspect it’ll end up in another bike, probably the mini (50&70cc) dirt bikes my girls ride. I just put 400 miles of offroad soft sand riding around Florida on the Honda 250 with...

Stopped by Autozone to grab some valvoline restore and protect 10w-40 motorcycle oil, it showed in stock on the app but store staff couldn't locate it so I left empty handed. What I did notice was $18/qt Motul 7000, which is hard to find info online about, especially for the US market. It...

Thats such a good looking bike. But my motorcycle ADD is already at its peak and I need to stop thinking about another.

with this crf250 shifting improved after dumping the factory fill and going to 300v. Its been fantastic ever since and I haven't adjusted the chain once yet in 5000 miles. Its getting loose but I keep it lubed with Schaeffers roller chain lube and its not bad enough to need adjustment yet

Much less scientific science. Just seeing how maxima compares at half the price of the motul in terms of shift feel. I know both of these (or probably any other oil on earth) will take care of this honda forever. I’ll buy boutique oil all day but I dont think I’ll pay for an analysis. These...

I did something perhaps stupid, but I did it for science! Today I drained the 350 mile 300V out of my CRF250L and refilled with Maxima Extra 10w-40. Changed the filter with a new K&N. I recently stocked up on a bunch of Maxima extra ($63/gal) and proplus ($42/gal) for all my bikes before price...

Most boats have cats. My 2013 4.3 mercruiser had two cats, 4o2 sensors. basically an automotive ECU and emissions control and that was 14 years ago.

I taped a thermocouple to the oil filter of my mercruiser 454's in the past, and that worked well. Under sustained high load the oil would climb above 280f and pressure would plummet. I dont have the same issue with the new boat. Oil pressure always stays at 50 or above.

I have a malibu 6.2 supercharged and it calls for 0w-40 Mobil 1. It's the GM block and runs 50psi at 170f coolant temp. I need to check sump temps, but I will probably stick with the 0w-40 because its working. They call for 50hr changes in the book.

My friend had a seca II. I put 20w-50 in and it ran great until he got stuck in traffic and left it idling so long it self destructed from heat. He wasn’t smart enough to turn it off when nothing moved for 45 minutes in florida heat. It was a fun bike. Yours is gorgeous.

Based on the oil specs called out in the manual (5w-40 or 0w-40 synthetic) I would probably choose Rotella T6 5w-40 or Mobil1 0w-40. Ignore AI slop and lies. There is absolutely no reason this motor needs MA2. That said, I have run 0w-40 Mobil 1 and 5w-40 T6 in wet clutch motorcycles in the...

In my industry, OME is oil mist eliminator. I suspect your use of an acronym I dont understand was supposed to be OEM maybe? Hiflo is good quality. I think most of us have used them at some point, without issue. I run a cheapo Hengst car filter these days, except for my CRF250L with the little...

What would really go wrong if you dont recalibrate it? It couldn't be THAT bad.. could it?

Motul 3000 is the lowest end and way overpriced for a conventional oil. The 5100 is the group 3 "Technosynthese" blend. I would confidently run the 5100 for the standard factory OCI.

In Vermont? synthetic 10w-40, any brand will work. Your weather is a lot milder than down south where I spend most of my time riding in 90+ ambient. I used to run Motul but the prices are insane.Valvoline full synthetic is cheap and good https://a.co/d/088RS4fG I personally switched...

Motul 5100 is excellent. It will treat you very well. Motul & Maxima gives the best shifting I have ever experienced.

I use Hengst H97W06 filters on my bikes. Yamaha and Kawasaki both use this filter. They are $4 each on Rockauto and cut apart are every bit the same quality as the $20 OEM filters. I buy 12 at a time because they also fit all three of my Kubota diesels. Never an issue. For 10w-40 I run the...

I have its older sibling, a 2001 DR200SE. It's covered 50,000 miles on the back of my RV and probably 10k miles on the bike itsself, although the odometer cable broke and has been stuck at 703 miles its entire life. I now ride a CRF250L Rally most RV trips but the DR200 remains a favorite farm...

I ran VR1 synthetic 20w-50 for years and it was great. I also had no issue with the Mobil 1 V twin. I switched everything to Maxima proplus because its so affordable and a boutique oil has to be better, right? =) Seriously, after talking to the guys at Maxima last year I fell in love with their...
