I presently use amsoil 10w30/30HD diesel oil. I would stop using lucas, their products tend to foam and air doesn't lubricate, there are various oil studies out there that show this, including the below site, see www.bobistheoilguy.com |

Oh boy....and oil thread.  Mobil motorcycle oil (v-twin) 20/50 with a Purolator Pure One filter (PL14610). It's longer and alows for 4 full quarts. If you use an oil filter cover you might want the regular length filter....PL14612) |

I have Amsoil 10w40 motorcycle oil right now but will probablly try Shell Rotella 6T next time. I use a Honda car filter. Does that count as part dark side?

I use Rotella T in the blue jug. I was just told that I should use motocycle oil due to the way the gears in the transmission may gum up if using automotive type oil. The motocycle oil is made not to do that. Has anyone else heard that?

Motorcycle transmissions are rough on oil. The gears will chop the long strand molecules into little bits, which destroys viscosity. Synthetic oils resist the tendancy to lose viscosity. The primary diference between car and motorcycle synthetics is the additive package. Too much moly can mess up a wet clutch, though most oils, including some motorcycle oild have some moly content. Check out Bobistheoilguy.com for much more than you will ever want to know about motor oil. |

This oil change I tried Delo 15W-40, same as my Diesel. Are there any issues with this that y'all see? It's been running great but I haven't pushed the clutch too hard.

great oil, however a few yrs ago the formulation was changed and now it contains almost 300 ppm of moly. www.bobistheoilguy.com oil analysis sections. Per a SAE report I have posted before problems start showing up with the starter clutch first at 500ppm with problems with the main clutch also at 750ppm. search my handle the SAE # and a google search will bring up many sites discussing this. |
