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 at Walmart T4 oils are a rare find, or just not possible to get. I'm left with Castrol Go, and a couple of other overpriced oils for the dirt bike.
I've always wanted to try Amsoil and I think I will. Keep in mind this is a brand new dirt bike, not a racing or motocross bike, and it's not some old dirt bike from the 70's. I think the CRF250F is a relatively new model which I believe came out in 2019, so about 5 years old. The Owner's Manual says to use 10W30 or 10W40 oil, and of course recommends their Pro Honda GN4 4-stroke oil, which is a dino oil and not synthetic.
So my only real question left is which version of the Amsoil is best for my boy's dirt bike? The Dirt Bike Oil, or the Metric Motorcycle Oil. I know the name would suggest the Dirk Bike Oil, but when I look at the spec sheets and such, they both seem to be near identical (unless I'm missing something glaring).
Anyone out there with a newer Honda dirt bike, and preferably at CRF250F that has found a difference in either of these Amsoil products and if there is any reason to use one over the other....other than the "name"???
