I find it funny how the big players always recommend us to only use a bike specific oil(+$$$)which they happen to make.And all the ones I have looked at are with an obsolete API rating. But here in New Zealand not all of them market a bike specific oil and in that case they happily recommend one of their car oils. Some that I have been recommended!!
1/ PENRITE, HPR Gas10, or Diesel 5
2/ VALVOLINE, Synpower, or Durablend
3/ MOBIL, Super 2000, because I told them I wanted a semi syn and they don't market a bike one here.
If I have learned anything from studying a bit about oil, it's not to trust what the oil companies tell you. The minute my bike comes out of warranty, its getting an HDEO 15w-40 anything changed regularly. Just my little rant.
