Repsol or something else?

For the last two oil changes, I have used Repsol Moto 4T. So is there anything elso that would be better, or is the Repsol stuff good enough?

Never used it. Ive used Amsoil for years.:thumbup:

I've used Repsol before. It works great but after about 500-600 miles, it was not as smooth. Mobil 1 lasted way longer and was very smooth through out shifting and normal engine operation.:thumbup:

repsol can S MY D it came out blacker than hell, and with metal sparkle in it with only 2,000 miles of hard riding. amsoil is my new oil and then mobile 1 4t.

I've been changing the oil every 2000 miles. Is that too soon??

I've been changing the oil every 2000 miles. Is that too soon?? Depends. If you track the bike, that's probably a good interval - possibly even sooner depending on how hard it's pushed. For normal street riding, even if you're riding the piss out of it, you're wasting money, and the factory recommended 3,500 mile interval is perfectly fine. Honestly, you can go longer with synthetic oil. I personally do 5,000 mile change intervals, and have for the last 45,000 miles.

I switched to synthetic and chose repsol a few days ago. the day after i changed it, and eversince i've been having a hard time starting up my bike. i'm not sure that it's the oil, but i'm going to switch to castrol and see if that fixes it. i'll keep you updated.

Oil will not cause a starting problem... just coincedence.. Bob S. . unless they poss way over filled it..ive seen that cause some cranking / running issues

unless they poss way over filled it..ive seen that cause some cranking / running issues Well, that is not the fault of the oil and the engine would still start, just puke it out all over.. Bob Schultz

If more expensive means it's better, I've got some oil I'll sell you for $100/qt. I'll guarantee that it will never cause a failure in your bike, if changed every 3000 miles. People waste too much money on expensive oils. It's just not necessary. I've used Castrol in my bikes since about 1991, and have yet to get one with any sort of sludge or other problems...and I don't change oil every 3000 miles. I have never had an engine failure in any bike I've owned.

I, for one, enjoy extended drain intervals so I don't have to be changing oil all the time instead of riding, I also enjoy the benefits of a smoother running engine, cooler oil temps, better fuel mileage, more HP, smoother shifts, fewer false neutrals and easier to find neutral, not to mention less wear. I guess I am one of those people that enjoy riding my bike, 2500 miles in 2 weeks, instead of changing the oil. I do not plan on selling or trading my bike in so the other benefits just keep multiplying. I also go through the expense of oil analysis to be sure the oil is still in spec and know if anything is going wrong inside the engine. Some of us, just like to take the best care we can of our vehicles. Some just like to run them until they die and place the blame somewhere when it does die.

We represent a product that costs a little more up front and pays dividends. What's that? You'll get 50,000 miles out of the engine, instead of 45,000? Really... most sportbikes wind up wrecked, not with blown engines. I, for one, enjoy extended drain intervals so I don't have to be changing oil all the time instead of riding Extended drain intervals? Dude, I have put 65,000 miles on my Altima in the last few years, and only changed the oil 4 times. With the money I saved on oil changes, I can do a lot of other stuff. If I figured on $20 for each change at 3000mi intervals, that would be roughly 23 changes, equaling $460. That's with Castrol. As you know, Amsoil and others cost a lot more. I can buy a used engine for $200. But I haven't had to, because it's had no engine problems. I do change the oil in my bike a bit more often, since they are a bit harder on oil than a car...but I also enjoy the benefits of a smoother running engine Placebo effect? I'd like to see an actual study that measures the vibrations, comparing oils. I would have to think that the difference would be so little that you couldn't feel it. cooler oil temps The temps my bike runs at don't bother me at all. In fact, in the cooler weather, it feels nice. better fuel mileage ...which is likely eaten up with the cost of the expensive oil. more HP what, 1-2hp? An ass dyno can't detect that little. That little difference isn't even enough to make the difference in 1st and second in a Moto GP race. The rider, air pressure, and so many more things are much more important than 1-2hp. smoother shifts, fewer false neutrals and easier to find neutral It really isn't a problem for me. Some of us, just like to take the best care we can of our vehicles. Some just like to run them until they die and place the blame somewhere when it does die. So one day when the bike gets totalled, you'll be able to brag that the engine is still flawless? You'll be lucky to get your oil money back out of it. Bob Schultz Over 24 Yrs Experience selling and using the finest oil on the Planet ! You're not the first to claim that, and you won't be the last. I realize you're selling a product, and I'm not trying to bash on you. There will be guys that would buy your oil for $40 a quart, if they felt it was the best out there. I'm a bit more frugal and find no evidence that the high prices are worth it.

What's that? You'll get 50,000 miles out of the engine, instead of 45,000? Really... most sportbikes wind up wrecked, not with blown engines. I better see a lot more than 50,000 on my bike.. Of course, I ride at a reasonable speed and don't abuse my bike. Extended drain intervals? Dude, I have put 65,000 miles on my Altima in the last few years, and only changed the oil 4 times.

I have 345,000 on my work van and only changed oil every 35,000 up to 43,000 miles... I have 10 changes on it at $40.00 per change.. Cost per mile is in my favor.. I do change the oil in my bike a bit more often, since they are a bit harder on oil than a car...but Yeah.... me too... I stick to 10,000 miles even though analysis says I can go longer Placebo effect? I'd like to see an actual study that measures the vibrations, comparing oils. I would have to think that the difference would be so little that you couldn't feel it. It has been done... The temps my bike runs at don't bother me at all. In fact, in the cooler weather, it feels nice. That is because you don't understand what an extra 10 degrees means to oil. ...which is likely eaten up with the cost of the expensive oil. what, 1-2hp?

The rider, air pressure, and so many more things are much more important than 1-2hp. Don't care about an ass Dyno... I like to deal with facts that can be proven instead of inuendo. It really isn't a problem for me. So one day when the bike gets totalled, you'll be able to brag that the engine is still flawless? You'll be lucky to get your oil money back out of it. If my bike gets totaled, it will more than likely be someone elses fault.. My "oil money" pays itself back quickly. You're not the first to claim that, and you won't be the last. Again, I deal in facts, not statements from someone that cannot prove otherwise. I deal with ASTM and SAE tests, you deal with what you don't know and try to justify in your own mind.

I know that my oil is worth what it sells for and has been proven for over 35 years. Bob Schultz

I better see a lot more than 50,000 on my bike.. Of course, I ride at a reasonable speed and don't abuse my bike. Look around and see what percentage of bikes reach 50k. It's not always your fault either. Odds are, even if you do nothing wrong, somebody will cause an accident and screw up your bike. Dude... I have 345,000 on my work van and only changed oil every 35,000 up to 43,000 miles... I have 10 changes on it at $40.00 per change.. Cost per mile is in my favor.. That's impressive, with any oil or driving habits. I am surprised though, that somebody that sells oil for a living would go that far between changes. [about vibration testing]It has been done... Got any links to good studies on it? I'd like to read up on it and see the results. That is because you don't understand what an extra 10 degrees means to oil. Ok, tell me what difference I'll see in my oil from running 200 degrees, vs 210. [about added hp]Don't care about an ass Dyno... I like to deal with facts that can be proven instead of inuendo. So what was it, 1-2hp? :rofl: Again, I deal in facts, not statements from someone that cannot prove otherwise. I deal with ASTM and SAE tests, you deal with what you don't know and try to justify in your own mind. Since you have all the facts, why not post them? You're the professional. Make the sale. Prove yourself. If you think I know nothing, why not tell me what it is that you think I don't know? If you think I'm the only skeptic reading this, you're definitely wrong. I'm just the only one that's got the balls to question it. I know that my oil is worth what it sells for and has been proven for over 35 years. Your average customer probably never gets 30k on their motorcycle, after paying big money for premium oil, in big hopes of it lasting forever. You know that as well as I do. Dude... You know what your vehicle is worth, so please don't buy my oil, it is probably worth more than your vehicle. I know that my oil is worth what it sells for and has been proven for over 35 years. Yeah, your oil is worth more than my vehicle... haha!! :twofinger:lame:
