Re the above link...

Of course I would expect to see the following on the AMSOIL Site:


Question: Can AMSOIL motor oils be mixed with other brands?

Answer: Yes. AMSOIL synthetic motor oils are compatible with other conventional and synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL motor oils with other oils, however, will shorten the oil’s life expectancy and reduce the performance benefits. AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed. Mixing other oils with AMSOIL motor oils may also void the AMSOIL limited warranty.


The preceding quote is also biased and self-serving and does not constitute as impartial documentation concerning any adverse affects of mixing brands...I'm still waiting for that. Besides, I doubt that any CB owner on this forum leaves the oil in his bike for any extended period of time....surely not long enough for any "mixed-oil" issues (if there are any) to ever arise. For the brief time that the oil is in our bikes, you could probably even get away with using (dare I say it?) Quaker State (if they made an approved, wet-clutch, motorcycle oil)
