I ran Rotella syn for about 200 miles and my tranny started to shift with difficulty - clunks every where. Drained it out and went with mobil 1.

Suzuki oil. The same one recommended in the owners manual. I change it and the filter at the recommended intervals. It's cheap and probably no good, but it works. Mobil 1 goes in my more expensive bikes. I use the recommended AGIP 10-60W in my MV Agusta in case of a warranty claim. I can't afford to fix that bike out of MY pocket.

actually 0W is winter weight, ie, cold. The difference between 0w40 and 10w40 is simply, its thinner when cold...which is a good thing.

The first number IMO, the smaller the better

The problem when there is a big spread in the viscosity ratings is that they use additives to achieve it. When those additives get used up the viscosity goes down, way down. That's why straight grade oils are usually recommended for diesels. I also like the diesel oil for the higher detergent content. I use rotella t syn unless I don't have it on hand.

I use oil. Just plain oil. Oil for motorcycles. 4-stroke motorcycle oil. The regular kind. The kind that makes things slippery.

LOL Im with him!?
