All about oil according to george

[hatewinter]

Let me apologize now if this does turn out to be an oil thread.         The according to george thread was great...just curious though, after reading it, how many 20w50 bikes/riders have switched to the mobil mx4t?  After reading it, i decided that I was going to put the mx4t in.  But since i'm such a newbie I'm still kind of weary.

I run syrup.  With  a dry clutch, one need not worry about all of the additives. Plain ol maple.

i run MX4T in my s2r800 with a wet clutch.
Clutch operates just as smoothly as it did with Motul full synthetic, at about $3.99 less per quart.
The MX4T is my oil of choice now, unless Cyclegear starts carrying Amsoil.

The last wet clutch bike I had got Mobil 1 Synthetic car oil.  15-50 I think.

Ran great for 13000 miles.  No clutch slippage.

$27/gallon.

I sold the bike at 13k fwiw

I ran MX4T and liked it. Had the 6k service done and the dealer switched me to a semi synthetic, I don't know the brand.  My clutch began to stick when it sat longer then 12 hours.  When I would put it into 1st the bike would stall. 
So met a Amsoil dealer at a track day and decided to give it a try.  No more sticking and the bike is still smooth after 3k miles.  I also am using the Amsoil filter.

I run Klotz...20W50.

Mobil one is a good product.

Doesn't the MX4T have additives to help the transmission out?

I was running the Klotz 20/50 as recommended  by BCM.  As I watched the oil thread develop I switched to the MX4T and I really like the way it works with my wet clutch.

I have a dry clutch, and like the way the Klotz clings on parts.

It's probably psychological.

90% psycho and 10% logical.

yes, i liked the cling.  That and the fact that the Klotz is like a fine wine with it's red color and  intoxicating aroma.

Do you run the standard 20W-50 Techniplate, or the "V-Twin 'forumulated for Harleys' 20W-50"?

[scott_araujo]

I generally run Mobil 1 Synthetic 10w40.  I switched to Motul 20w50 for a spell to try moto specific oil.  I didn't like it, tranny was just slightly less smooth. 

I think synthetic is good for air cooled engines since it has some more resistance to heat breakdown and they tend to run hot.  It also flows better when cold.  Next time I'll probably go with 10w40 MX4T based on reading through George's thread.  I figure the extra additives in the MX4T are good since the tranny can break down a car oil so may as well.  I think that since I change the oil every 3000 miles almost anything would work adequately.
