Amsoil Recommendation

[Motogeezer1949_imp]

I just received a reply from my direct inquiry to Amsoil from Anthony Pierce about which product was recommended for the CB1100

And when filling your crankcase with Amsoil, top it off with Bardahl's No Smoke with Stop Leak. No Smoke with Stop Leak contains proprietary seal-swelling agents to stop oil leaks, restore compression, and increase power!

Frankly, I've had better experience with Marvel Mystery Oil

same thing the Honda manual recommends...10w30.
Service manual favors 10W-30 oil

I don't know if the Amsoil M.S.R.P. of $12.15 U.S. is a good price in the States, but I found a local Canadian distributor who sells the Amsoil 10W30 Motorcycle-Specific for only $12.55 Canadian per Litre Jug.

That makes Amsoil the cheapest Motorcycle-Specific Fully Synthetic Oil that I can buy here and it comes in the exact 10w30 the CB needs.
There are a few other brands of Motorcycle oil available locally, but they only have 10w40 or 20w50 and usually cost more than $14 CDN per litre/quart.

As far as additives for these new synthetics is probably not a good idea as a lot of chemistry went into the manufacture of these oils.
Why try and change what they created?

I think you will find that Petroleum based oils now contain just as many, if not more additives than some synthetic oils. Conventional oil must be significantly refined to compensate for the variance in the long-chain molecule size created in nature and the additives make up the difference to standardize performance.

The truly synthetic esters (like those in Amsoil), on the other hand, generally (but not in all cases) tend to provide a "purer" base with consistently sized molecules. As a result, fewer additives are required for similar performance and longevity without shearing.

That's a great question Mr. Jangles. You see, Bardhal's exclusive chemical formulas sink deep deep down into your engine's metal and seals, providing molecular-level surfactant action beyond what any conventional or synthetic oil can achieve. With Bardahl, you'll ride with confidence knowing that you've poured in real engine repair and maintenance, right from the Bardahl bottle.

So you are telling us that Bardahl is a soap? :huh:

 

[Short Timer_imp]

This is all so confusing

 

[Pterodactyl_imp]

Did someone think there was no sense of humour on this forum? There's more laughs per line in an oil thread than even a tyre thread, or, believe it or not, a header cleaning thread.

Cheers, and remember, stay well-oiled.

5-80 wt. full synthetic Snake Oil, anything else will destroy the engine, plus you only have to change it every 50,000 smiles. What was that about lack of humor? Now can we discuss chain cleaning?

 

[Cormanus]

Snake oil!? Come down under, mate. We have Goanna oil which never needs changing.

 

[lukeduck_imp]

Goanna oil, seems I recall that stuff from the distant past. Seems it only worked south of the equator, on the north side it tended to seep through any and all gaskets. Other thing was that if you tried to mix it with vodka you would get a hankering for shrimp on the bar-b and start thinking of going on ride about. Coramanus, please check records and see if my addled brain cell is working properly. Meanwhile keep on riding.
