    Synthetic vs Dino Oil

    No surprise here. Synthetic oil is better. I've been using only synthetic in everything for almost 20 years. I do extend my oil changes to a minimum of 5k miles on my autos, never more than 2500 miles on my bikes though..... usually less...

    Opinions on Mobil "V-twin" synthetic oil..

    What do you guys think about this stuff? It says it's "formulated to withstand the extra heat of engines without radiators..." How'd it do in a Vmax? I have a gallon of it, and was thinking of giving it a try.. Anyone else use it? Thoughts?

    Synthetic Oil

    Stolen from the CBX Forum. Beware of synthetic oil! It can do terrible things to you and your beloved Motorcycle. It will not only leak out of your engine faster than you can put it in, but it will also cause your oil filter to clog and implode, dumping debris and dirt into your lubrication...

    DOT-4 Synthetic Brake Fluid

    I was told that my 07 Max uses DOT-4 brake fluid. Okay, so I go down to my local Wal-Mart to get some and find the below product which is labeled as a DOT-4 synthetic.

I put motorcycle 10w-40 with amsoil filter and have not had any such issues. Does shift smoother though. Just wanted to let yall know if you want to try and...

    Is it okay to run synthetic blend Golden Spectro 4?

    I have heard to stay away from pure synthetic engine oils for the V-Max. I own a 2004. I bought some synthetic blend Golden Spectro 4 engine oil. Are blends fine for this engine? Also, anything else I should be aware of as I change it? Does it matter if it was regular petro oil and now...

    Mobil 1 Synthetic Turbo Diesel Truck 5W-40

    :confused2:Anyone tried the new synthetic Mobil 1 5W-40 Turbo Diesel Truck oil? I have been talking with Exxon-Mobil to see how it compares to Mobil Delvac 1 5W-40 synthetic, and they are telling me that there would be no performance advantage of using one over the other, although the...

    The OIL thread. All oil related questions here.

    So what kind of oil do most people run in their max. I did my first service at the shop where I got the bike, but plan on doing most of them myself. Just wondered if there was a specific type of oil out there that is better then others? I've read on a FZR sight I still go to that people there...
