Title: What kind of oil should I put into my z1000?
Post by: john on February 06, 2013, 10:45:11 PM
Curious if you like synthetic, semi synthetic (like the 2 stroke oil I use for the dirt bike), or plain old petroleum?

Leaning toward synthetic.  The cost is so minimal compared to my 7 quart truck.

This parts whore is crying! All those beautiful parts - and for why? There are starving children in Ethiopia that could use those parts! God help us.  I hope there wasn't a GS500 in  there.

Are you serious? 2 stroke diesel aka Detroit diesels.

In all seriousness though if you want a good oil use Mobil 1 for bikes for your kwaka.

If you were here in Australia I would recommend you use Penrite Ten Tenths fully synthetic.
(http://ts1.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4677787185906596&pid=15.1)
While it is primarily a car oil it clearly states on the back it can be used in four stroke motorcycles with a wet clutch. It is about $20 - $30 cheaper than a fully synthetic motorcycle oil and comes in 5 liters not 4. It is what I run in my Ducati Monster.

Early Detroit diesels! .... And some of the GM diesels from the mid 60's roughly .... But you know in the older movies ... The older style greyhound buses.... With that particular revving shrieky noise on take off?? ... 2 stroke diesel power boyo... Usually a Detroit in the US...

Noisy bloody things though... Had a ride in a truck with a 2 stroke 275hp motor .. When I was a lad... Earplugs were more or less mandatory! :thumb:

I put amsoil synthetic into it last oil change.  It was given to me.  I think I'll go with mobil 1 synthetic.  I imagine it is similar to what was in there.

z1000, the 'naked tame ninja'. rode one last night. really nice bike. really nice. can't imagine caring what oil was in it, so long as it handles that good, with that much smooooooth power.

oh, ok, back to oil. yes, whatever is on the shelf, when you change it. that'll do.

lol ! whatever. i'm sure you can find a graph that says "ZOMG ! royal pink and green synthetic spinergy PLUS PRO RACE Edition SPECIAL is 5x better than 10w30!!!" yep, the graphs don't lie. meanwhile, people are riding for 100,000+ miles with zero issues whatsoever related to using plain old car oil.

i swear if SPACE SHUTTLE OIL was for sale, someone would buy it for their $800 gs, ninja, 4wheeler, whatever and claim all others inferior.
Title: Re: What kind of oil should I put into my z1000?
Post by: jacob92icu on February 08, 2013, 08:15:11 AM
True, every oil is practically the same. But synthetic does have additives that help it last longer and promote long lasting engines. It has to do with how well it does changing temperatures over and over again.

Need it for my 4stroke lawn mower!!! .... Gonna make it a hover unit!!... Reckon Space Shuttle Oil will do that!!!!

I notice you said "if they sold IT" ... Not "IF it existed" ... So I'm assuming it exists and they DON'T sell it!!!! ....

Why!?!?!?!?! .... I WANT Space Shuttle Oil!! ... Make them sell it to me!!!
