i was wondering what to use

i just got my bike about 2 months ago and wondering if i should go with 10/40 synth since i dont know what the last guy used:hmmm:

 

[tomzilla]

I use motul 20 50 I think. I'll have to look. It's what I have always put in my bike and never had a single problem. Shifts great, runs great, its not loud sounding at all. Love the color and smell too!

Just did an oil change on my bike and used Rotella T6 with a K&N filter. Sounds quieter at idle, haven't had a chance to take it around the block yet though.

 

[reckyb]

Suzuki filter. Castrol actevo x-tra 10w-40 semi syn.

What the dealer puts in

K7 600

That may be my next oil. I heard a lot of good things about it. I've been using the Suzuki oil up to this point.

Edit: 2006 GSXR 1000

Amsoil

Amsoil

Right there with you buddy on the Amsoil.

Amsoil 10-40 Street, track, and race Sheesh, on my street bike it stays in there the whole year. Almost the same on my race bike. Me and my race buddy be laughing big time at some of our racing buddies be changing oil after every few races. We leave Amsoil 10-40 in there for almost the full race season or at least 15 to 20 races..Never had a problem.

rotella t6 best oil and cheap as hell does the job people buying other oils are just wasting money and spending money on the name just like shoes air jordans cost about 2 bucks to make but people spend 140 RETARDED

 

[tomzilla]

No, rottella is not the best. Not even close. It is a fantastic cheap oil, but not the best.

Castrol Power 1 10w/40, Semi Synth. I'd like to go fully synth buy I make lots of little trips (about 2-3 miles each way) to work every day, apparently fully synthetic wouldn't get chance to work properly over such a short trip.

I've never heard that synthetics had any issues with short trips. What is the reasoning behind that idea?

 

[Retard69]

Actually there is very little that makes oils better then one another. Actually rotella is the best due to price longevity I have over 100k on my zx14 rotella all the way. I just dont get it people spend almost 70-100 on oil changes hahaha. Dumbasses born everyday. But again there are people who still buy Apple products and air Jordan's. Ughhhhh.

Amsoil all the way. I do oil changes like I change my boxers though. I try to get my oil changed every 2000-2500 miles I know it's WAY over kill but that's what makes me sleep better at night.

That absolutely makes zero sense. At all. And I've never heard that. There are other reasons short trips are bad (or at least less than optimal), but the type of oil has absolutely nothing to do with it. Short trips are bad because the condensation formed inside the engine on startup doesn't get a chance to burn off.

Fair enough.

I just use plain suzuki petroleum oil and change it every 3k miles. As long as you change your oil religiously and don't go way over 3k miles I don't see the need to pay 14 dollars a quart for synthetic
