Honda M/C -car oil filter site

[dragboat]

This guy is using car oil filters on his VFR's,CBR's ect.

Also gives advise on oil.

Don't shoot the messenger,just thought you might get a kick out of his take on why not to use a energy conserving oil in a Bike!

Duh! I forgot to paste it. I will find it again and post

I could not find it again! Did find this
http://www.ibmwr.org/otech/oilreport.html---- which will lead you to www.vtr.org which how I found the missing site originally
and found this
www.sportbikeguy.com

the www.vtr.org/maintain/oil-overview.html has a large list of oils

I did not know Pennzoil made a motorcycle specific oil,nor did I know Castrol makes a 20/60 Synthetic. It also tells a little about the R series Castrol in one of those links

Unfortunately most of those articles are out of date. I think that the article at the bmw site does show that some auto oils are just as suitable for bike use as some bike specific oils.

This may be the link you saw.

I use the Honda filter he talks about. In the near future I plan on doing a pressure drop vs flow test on the OEM Toyo Roki and compare it to the M1. If the M1 has comparable or better flow characteristics then I may consider using it.
