Just about everything I know about oil derived from that site. Anything I've ever posted about oil, fuel, octane...whatever pretty much originated from that site due to my curiosity at one point. I've been a member for three years(?) still haven't read everything.

I don't care how much you spend on it, you're best bet is to change it a lot.

So true, then you can see how much crap is in the oil.

I say spend alot and change alot, the oil companies hardly make any profits anyway. RIGHT LOL

shit thats cheap. cheap car oil here goes for $20-30 for 5 litres. motor cycle engine oil $30-4 litres. hence ive been using the car oil and changing every 2nd-3rd ride.

Don't do it. I put something in my tranny like slick 50 before. The clutch never hooked up after that. It took a very long time after changing that oil out that the cluch came back, but it was never the same.

Humm. Maybe I should put some car oil in my 500 to make the barnet cluch slip alittle bit. its so damn grabby Its annoying. drags too much.
