What's your engine oil????
Choosing an engine oil is like choosing a quad and once someone has found the one they like they rarely vary. I am wanting to know what brand and type people are using and what are your comments either good or bad about what you are using now and brands you have tried in the past.

What's your engine oil????
Ive been using silkolene 10w40 in my raptor and have always used amsoil 10w40 in my warriors. and i have had problems with the silkolene blowin out gaskets and leakin around washers. Its just too thin or somethin. so i thinkin i goin to amsoil in the raptor. I broke my warrior in after boring to 86mm with amsoil in it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] yeah yeah. no no break in on syntetic. Whatever I burn no oil have good compression and for a warrior it rips.

I have spent a lot of time researching the chemistry of oils! The only advantage a petroleum oil has over a synthetic is price, and price shouldn't be ones criteria when you are protecting your precious machine. I prefer the synthetics! The PAO synthetics (Mobil 1 and Amxoil) have many advantages over petroleum, and the ESTER SYNTHETICS have many advantages over the PAO's. http://www.maximausa.com/technical/l...beNews2002.pdf
My choice is Maxima Extra in my autoclutch bikes, and Maxima Ultra in my 400's and 450R. 40 weight in winter (winters here are mild) and 50 weight in summer (summer heat is bruital).
