Has anyone ever used Amsoil 4-stroke oil in their quads or dirtbikes? Did it seem too offer good protection? I know they manufacture some of the best two stroke oil out there, but i've heard nothing about their 4 stroke oil. I might purchase a mint condition xr500 on sunday and if i do buy it, i want to use the best oil possible.

Thanks for your time.

If you mean Amsoil, then yes its great! I had a 83'XR500R for a few years, just make sure 3rd gear shifts well as they are prone to going out....other than that its a great bike.

 

I run Amsoil in everything now. I run the new Amsoil Formula 4-Stroke 0w-40 oil in all of my bikes. I am very satisfied with Amsoil, and havn't had any problems.

The only exception where I don't use Amsoil is 2-stroke oil. I run Motul 2-stroke oil.

 

I perfer Klotz myself,its the most perfered racing oil out there too.My buddy use to use amsoil and during oil changes there was this residue of which don't exist now sence he uses Klotz.

2-2000 400ex's
1-1998 300ex
1-1997 xr80r
all on Klotz

 

I was wondering were you heard klotz was the most preferred racing oil?

 

A friend of mine lives in Superior Wisonsin where there plant is. He turned me on to there oil. Its pretty good stuff. There the first people to start selling synthetic oil so they should know what there doing.

 

yep, my dad was a amsoil dealer back in '74 for a few years until the local stores started carrying it

 

I use it and yes it is wonderful. If every one would braek down and use it, you would see a heavy amsoil following.

 

Sorta off subject.....I tried some Amsoil 2-stroke oil.(series 2000)I was not impressed with it.They recomend 50-1.It smoked so much I had a forest ranger stop me and ask me what was wrong with my bike and it was down on power.I mixed up another batch at 64-1(2 oz per gallon).Still smoked terribly.I usually run Torco gp-7.It is smokeless and the bike runs much better than the Amsoil.I have been riding the bike for 7 years now and never even had the head off yet.

Anyway...torco makes a 4-stroke oil I have been using in my 4-stroke bikes and im real happy with it.But it is not synthetic.

I am not affiliated with Torco,I just like there products.

 

You should see the followin they have in Duluth and Superior. It seems like every other car and truck has a amsoil sticker on it.
