Synthetic Oil.....

Hey Spyder,

I understand where your thinking is....I do Manage a Carquest Auto Parts and have learned to work on and read all that could pertain to my mechanical interest.....Synthetic Castrol 20w50 for example....Any synthetic does not break down like your regular oils....It stays the same consistancy as when you pour it in....I've been riding it a month or so with this change and everything still sounds the same as Castrol 20w50.....I understand, the cooler it runs the longer it will last......My bike has about 42k on it and I have a carb or vacuum problem, I'm still fighting.......I was told buy Focus Frenzy that I was crazy and should use motorcycle oil........I'm just not scared of too much, and in 6 months I may be rebuilding the engine, carbs and the primary and secondary (god forbid any of the last statement).....But the fact remains that this is what I'm going to continue with until I (learn the hard way) not to.....
Stubborn winch I am, but I must follow through with my decision....May it be a "good" lesson or test we can all learn from........I fully intend on putting this same engine oil in my 86' Nissan 200SX next time I change the oil......So far so good, but, I do accept any praises or thoughts on my (faulty as you may think) thinking.......
I like getting my hands dirty to learn something all the time.....

I love you all....

Oils

I am switching to Motul 0W40 or 15W50 this week.
I have found that there is a short in my oil pressure wire somewhere. When I put the spade connector to the oil pressure switch, all thelights come on. I check this wire to ground , and there is no resistance, this wire is not supposed to meet ground, according to the wiring schematic.

Back to work.


Cheers,


Brad

Our local Autozone sells a synthetic MOTORCYCLE oil. I'm not positive, but I think it is Mobil 1 synthetic for motorcycles. $7.00 per quart!!!

Id get theat synthetic out of there... unless it's synthetic MOTORCYCLE oil...

if its motorcycle synthetic, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS! I'd love to run synth, suzi is a little too hot for my taste.

Both Golden Spectro and Honda make a motorcycle-rated full synthetic if that's what you're asking.
