AMSOIL Oil and Filter. Happy for me that there is a distributor next to me.
Yay, oil thread...I use some kind of 10w-40 and buy OEM filters.
I think people make way too much of oil. Oh and Feanor...I know you really like to baby that thing, but buying pricey synth and changing it every two thousand miles when you're riding around on the street is definitely throwing money away.
i use fram filter with generic car motor oil (10w30)from autozone on my r6. works like a charm!
I know... I just can't help myself. But then again, I had almost 50k miles on my previous zx-6r using that oil brand/schedule with no motor issues at all regularly bouncing off the rev limiter and always being over 8 grand rpm on the freeway.
Sure it might have had nothing to do with oil type, but I like to unreasonably pamper my things. Heck, I spent 10k on the bike, $100 every 6000 miles doesn't seem so bad.
Always, always factory filters.
Redline for oil. 10-40 for my bike. And always full synthetic, regardless.
Can I use a car motor oil on my gsxr600? I have been wanting to do this since I have a hook up on winchester auto parts and autozone. But I am afraid that in might do a damage on my gsxr600 if I put a car motor oil in.
so you ride something that can easily exceed 100mph with no protective cage built around you and you want to penny pinch with car oil?
As far as my question, I was just curious but I did not take any chances. So far bike is running like a champ, every oil change I use Castrol 5W-20 synthethic and K&N filter.
why are you running 5w20? i believe suzuki recommends 10w40 for your bike.
And Castrol doesn't make a 5w20 motorcycle oil IIRC... do you mean their 5w40?
