Somebody, anybody!?

[maticus]

if your title is correct then im confused why you are using 0w40 i use 10w40 and full syn would be good just not on the tranny side.

Thats my question. How good is the 0w40 Formula 4-Stroke? And does anybody use it ?

I have used it for 1 1/2 seasons on both sides. You will like it.

It will seem thin but its is designed for quick flow at startup and excellent high temp protection.

I run the Amsoil full synthetic motorcycle on both sides and change it every 4 or 5 rides.I am at mege hours and it still runs sweet.Way way overdue for a piston.Its safe for the cluth due to no friction modifiers.In my opinion theres no better oil out there.I run it in my 2 stroke,street bike,and all my vehicles....

I've used it but now i'm on to the 10 40 weight... the 0 40 seemed to burn up quickly and get really black in no time....

i used the amsoil in both sides and didnt like it in the tranny side, it was almost like it was too slipperly, and turned black in like two rides,when as belray thumper comes out like brand new.

There is nothing wrong with oil getting dirty. that means that it is doing its job. Oil is formulated with detergents and dispersants which aid in the removal of contaminents and buildup in your engine and tranny.

i like the ams oil my self and push to 0-40 wt on the both sides or redline synthetics but get your wallet out

I have tried a few combos. (I change both sides/with filter, as well as clean the air filter with every ride)

I am personally satisfied the best with the Honda Tranny Oil 85W. (red pour bottle) in the tranny, shifts good in my R.

I have been using Maxima 20W50 in the engine, but will be switching to 10W40 for the winter at the next change.

I also run the Honda paper oil filters.

Off your topic I Know, just putting it out there.

I used to run Amsoil when I first got my bike.
Its so damn expensive though, I was paying around $8 a quart in bulk, at a dealer it goes for like $12 a quart.

I switched to Rotella, $4 a quart for the synthetic, and $2.50 for the conventional.
I use the synthetic in the engine side
And the conventional in the tranny side

Also I use aftermarket oil filters that are $2.80 each compared to the $9 filters from the dealer.

So now an oil change costs me $9.30 instead of $25-30

Changing the oil in both sides and filter every 2-3 ride, that adds up.

Been using the rotella for almost 2 years now, engine still looks perfect inside, few hundred hours on it.

Mine?
It does ok I guess, I'd like more power though.
I was supposed to get it dyno'd & tuned at the beginning of this season when the top end was fresh but the local shop was jerking me around and never got it done.

This winter the whole bottom end is guna get new bearings, maybe a hotrods +3 while it's apart.
New valves and all also.
Then a while after that, head porting and get the FCR carb bored.
