Hello all. Been lurking around here for a while, but thought it was time to register and ask a question.
See, my 'problem' is that I live in Norway.
Being a small, sparsely populated country, the mc dealers have little competition, and they sell their MC oils (Motul, etc) at extremely high premiums.
Statoil may be unknown in the US, but it is our partly state-owned oil company. Hence the name.
I suspect that their oil are somewhat average. They`re so big in Norway anyway, they probably don`t need to be best, they can sell their oils anyway.
The thing is that the company I work for has an agreement with Statoil, so I can buy their oils for a heavy rebate. Less than half what my Suzuki dealer wants for synthetic Motul.
I`m confident that the oil is more than good enough for my 2004 Suzuki SV1000S, but I`m interested in hearing the opinions of you 'oil connoisseurs' here, how it stacks up against other oils.
Been thinking about using a synthetic heavy diesel oil instead, but as it`s going to cost me about the same as this MC oil, I don`t see the point really.
Anyway, here is the spec sheet. (pdf)
