Mobil 1 on offer - Jfro5687_imp - 06-18-2019
Hi all. This isn't an oil thread as such. So Don't panic. In the UK, Halfords (which is a motor car/cycle parts type shop for those overseas) have motorcycle Mobil 1 oils on big discount, nearly a tenner off which is a big saving. I nearly bought some in readiness for the next oil change but I Couldn't see the cb1100ex in the index card so left it. Has anyone used it and had good or bad experiences? Just thought it was worth asking here......

I have used the MOTORCYCLE Mobil 1 10/40 Synthetic for MANY years and love it , also in my CB 1100.

Ok, not to fire up an oil thread, but I'm going to fire up an oil thread because we're talking about price here. 10/40 is a lot easier to find than 10/30 at a good deal where I"m located, and Mobil 1 10/30 is hard to find where I am period. Do you guys use 10/40 in the CB commonly rather than 10/30? Not going to get into the "which brand" rabbit hole.. and of course, I'm talking about motorcycle oil, not car oil. And yes, I know what the manual says. Just asking the one question. Thanks.

I always use the 10/40 , more concerned about the higher temperatures than the low ones on our air cooled bikes and do not forget the global warming !

Heat is one of my concerns as well, and I'd rather use 10/40 if there are no ill effects on the Honda. Not to mention that the Bonneville uses it, and having one case of oil in my garage makes it easy.

I use 10W40 in summer (+40C) and winter (-20C) without any issues. I should use a thinner oil in winter, but the CB doesn't seem cranky at all. In fact, I think the CB is more cranky in the hot season after re-starting the engine that has been running for awhile.

Good testimonials. I'll probably change oil again when we're at our hottest in CA in a few months, will most likely go 10/40. Thanks, guys.

10/40 Since day 1 here.
