Prove it! Let's see the souces you've used to be able to make your statement something more then just heresay. Personally I would find it hard to believe that any testing facility with limited budgets and time, could do the kinds of research that a company like Mobil can expend on developing a use specific oil. Therefore I would question the testing methods being used. Do you know for a fact that MX4T costs more then any other type of Mobil 1 synthetic? You must have overlooked the part where I said that synthetics were not necessary?

maudibbb, Check out these links. I believe they have credibility because they appear very independant (no Amsoil links please). http://www.yft.org/tex_vfr/tech/oil.htm http://www.xs11.com/stories/mcnoil94.htm The Quick

I have a 06' with 2200 miles and have been using Kawa oil 10w-40 since new, now I want to change to a synthetic oil. Either Mobil One or Amsoil. Can anyone give me opinions or advice on the pros and cons of synthetic? Thanks, Bwiser _________________________________________________________________ Don t just search. Find.

Hmm, oil you say? We don't get many questions about oil here, so nobody really has much info or opinions on that one. Sorry. -- Doug Herr doug@...

www.bobistheoilguy.com I just joined the list and I don't have a KLR yet (supposed to pick one up tomorrow). I use Mobil1 0w40 on my '04 R6. You'll need Non EC oil or your clutch will slip. -Bobby (different bob)

I use Mobil 1 Extended Wear 10-30 for 4000 miles now with no problems noticed. I thought there might be a problem with clutch slippage but I haven't noticed any. Nelson --- Brian Wise wrote:

Use regular oil and just make believe it's synthetic. You'll never know the difference. Fred

Be careful of your selection. You might be considered "an insane luddite" if go with regular oil. I have chosen the luddite route, insane or otherwise. Personally, I get a sense of comfort knowing my bike has clean oil in it every two thousand miles. Don Doug Herr wrote:
