Pennsoil says "It works like liquid ball bearings"
I think Fletch said "Its all ball bearings these days"
They just don't make movies like "Fletch" anymore.

P.S. I do use Amsoil in my 400EX--20/50. Seems fine, could probably use something else, but a guy at work is an Amsoil dealer. So he delivers it right to me, along with a Hastings oil filter. I hate waiting in lines, so it works out good.

Does anyone know if this new oil contains a transmission additive?

I picked up some Amsoil 10W40 motorcycle oil and put it in my 300EX a few days ago. What a difference in shifting. It has never shifted this good, and the temperature outside is in the 20's!

Kroorda you win!!!!! I will have to check my facts, but I think you win the oldest thread revival in the history of ATV connection!!!!
You also win the not so subtle sales pitch for Amsoil.

I was floored going up a mile long hill in 1st low range at 90 degrees outside only going 5MPH. I noticed the knock so I checked the oil and a friend stuck a meat the rometer in the hole and got a 320 degree reading! I was running Honda gn-4 10W40 and it still didn't hold up to serious abuse. I have not had a problem since switching to Amsoil

I just bought more oil yesterday, I'm a little past due of r a change. I bought Valvoline 10w40 ATV oil, so far so good.

I try to change it every 500 miles, thats 6 oil changes in the last year or 30+ qts of oil and 6 filters.

Thanks... Better late than never.

I really am sold on Amsoil. I had used Mobil 1 in a previous oil change, but where I can really tell the difference is in how smoothly and quietly my wet clutch operates. Really nice.
G'day,
Kent
