Mobil 1
I have been using mobil 1 10w40 4T racing since 2000 in whatever bike I had. I can still get it for under 10 bucks a quart. The only place that sells the amsoil is 20 mins away and its over 13 bucks a quart and they aren't open late. Hard to justify when I can get the mobil 1, 5 mins from my house and they are open late. I tried the amsoil once, it was fine.
Was this study done by AMSOIL? LOL:headscrat

Both Good!!!
I would have no problem switching to amsoil if it was cheaper and more convient for me to get. Both are awesome and would be the only 2 I would use in my bike. But honestly, I don't think you could go wrong with any full syn bike oil. Just change it regularly. Even tho I read a study that said 3/k miles is too soon too change syn oil in a bike. Even though it is black it still has plenty of life left. This study was done on track bikes too. It said we are wasting money changing the oil so soon. I have extended my oil changes to 5/k. I do a mix of track days and mountain twisty riding.
Same here. Been using Rotella for years and problem free. I use Suzuki filters.Rotella t6, 2005 GSXR 600

I think I need to change brands, it goes in a beautiful golden colour but comes out all black!

5W 40? I don't have my manual handy but I'm fairly sure that's outside of the range of acceptable grades. One might use it on a race bike for a power gain, where the engine isn't expected to last more than one season.

You will probably be okay with it being it's a good quality synthetic but I would revert to 10W 40 after the next oil change. That is the recommended grade for all riding conditions.
Thank you Mister Tee, you had me really worried for a minute. I doubt he would do me wrong but yeah you had me scared. I was like fawkkk that crap cost me 60$ for the gallon and Im gonna have to buy some more asap. haha. I feel better now with you saying I should be okay. Ill go back to 10w40 next time around.

I use Royal Purple on my bike since I had great results with it on my car, however Amsoil seems to get better wear ratings.
