Just thought i would let you guys in on this, First off i work at a place that has a ton of heavy equipment so im always getting oil reps in that want me to try there oils.
So after a rep from mystic oil (citgo) told me about an oil that some guys were running on those legends cars the ones with the streetbike motors, they were dropping engine temperatures by just switching to this oil and he had a few dragbikes that had switched to it for the same reason.
So he gave me a free case to try it out so we took 3- 400ex's and put new oil in them the same kind we had all been running all along in each bike and set up a little test we used a raytec laser temperature gun. this is what we found.
400ex-maxxima premium 20-40 - 177 degrees
400ex-bel-ray exp synthetic 20-50 - 175 degrees
400ex-pj1 goldfire synthetic 20-50 - 175 degrees
This was firing the bikes up at 75 degrees and letting idle for 5 minutes. the three bikes all had different pipes and jets and one was total stock.
then cooled motors down filled all three up with mystic sx-8 15-50 and changed filters and got these results starting them back up at 75 degrees
400ex piped and jetted- 164 degrees
400ex stock - 166 degrees
400ex piped and jetted- 162 degrees
This oil is great i have had it in mine for about 18 hours now and is still clear. And according to the manufacturer it is wet clutch safe. and is only $2.58 a quart We bought it at a place called royal lubricants in magnolia ohio off a guy named clayton the phone number is 330-455-9900
They say any time you drop temperature with oil you have reduced friction so longer motor life. Since we did this i know about 20 people now running this same oil and loving it.
