Oil Additives

[spc]

Suzuk-E: yes but not in so many words.......it states a specific grade of oil, that is generally labeled 'motorcycle oil'

Kev,  you're a twat.  Not all car oil is energy conserving, in fact it's really a very small percentage.   There's a guy here who runs 15w-40 diesel oil in his ninja 500, and he's at like 120k miles...............oil is  a variable aspect of the performance of your bike, but most anything will work.  I always ran Castrol GTX  10w-40 in my GS and I'm running it my gixxer now.   The only thing I've ever really heard that I would trust, is that dino oil will breakdown rather rapidly in todays higher revving engines.

Man, people put alot of thought into oil, or so it seems. I change mine apropriately and enjoy the benefits of doing so:

old 22r: 163,000 miles
old vtec: 207,000 miles
old gs: 18,101 miles

No, I don't use that additive mess, high octane gas, or any other snake oil. I use oil, what was recommended in the manual or dipstick. Occasionally some seafoam or stabil as needed for water.

That is all. I don't like wasting money (normally)
