What oil are peeps using for their oil changes?

[ozigoo]

I used the Motul 5100 Ester 10w40 last time...bit pricey so wondering what other people are using...?
Not asking which is best or what type, but simply what other people are using....

I used Motul 5100 10W40 on the ol' CB1100 too. It felt good.

Due to the extra cold winter riding season here, I switched over to Shell Rotella T6 5W40 and have been using it since. T6 is also cheaper than 5100.

Penrith 10W 40 semi synthetic. Or whatever comes in the Honda box: oil, filter and washer.

 

[lash_imp]

Rotella T4 in everything except the Goldwing

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Motul 5100 10W40 is a semi-synthetic concoction.

Rotella T6 5W40 is a full-synthetic offering.




"What oil do you use?"

 

[the Ferret]

Honda GN4 10W 30

 

[peterbaron]

7100 Motul 10W40 100% synthetic

 

[Pauley]

Castrol Activo synthetic blend 10w30

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

7100 Motul 10W40 100% synthetic

Does PB use the 7100 offering?

If so, it should be nicely adequate for those merry salted winter rides taking the CB1100 Deluxe out for a long deserved exercise. Just be careful at "iced" intersections [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=3454]PB.

Amsoil 10w-30.

Nooooooooooooooo!

(actually - what The ferret said.)

 

[STLTHMSTA_imp]

OMG!! He asked the oil question. LOL Mobil 1 10-40, or whatever proper weight in everything for the street, cars, truck, bikes. I will use Rotella T6 sometimes. TM

 

[Wagonpeddler_imp]

Honda GN4 10W30. Recent change with Honda filter. A gallon out, a gallon in.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

last oil change I used Valvoline vr1, had a few 5 qt jugs from the car projects. for the Rotella people, its a bit higher in zinc content than the T6.

Good to know. It appears Valvoline VR1 in Canada is pretty expensive.

At some posted prices one might as well expense a Motul offering.

[GoldOxide_imp]

Ya, no wonder, even cheapest veggie oil is more than C$9/gal
