I just picked up a 2003 zx-6r last July. I did one oil change on it so far which was with kawachem. My friend told me that stuff is garbage. I don't know how true that is. So my question is what are some of the top oils for this bike? I would prefer synthetic if possible.
What oil in a 2003 zx-6r?

Mobil 1 15w50 should work well as will the Mobil 1 4XT 10w40. I run the 15w50 in the summer and 4XT in the winter in my ZX-10R.
Hello, I have a 2004 ZX6R, basically the same thing. Great bike, the suspension needs to be softened up quite a bit and they really need a steering dampner. I got a Ohlins for mine. I have about 14,000 mile on mine and usually change at 3000 miles but have been known to go further. I have used Mobil 15w-50 but found I liked the shifting better w/ the Amsoil 10w-40, it also seems to run a little cooler. For the money I've also ran Shell Rotella T 15w-40 and 5w-40, and had good luck w/ both. I think that everyone here will agree there's a lot of good MC oils both synthetic and non-synthetic..
Oh here's mine.
Nice blue. I like solid color bikes.
To tell you the truth i'm not sure. I don't think it was synthetic.
