what do I think?

if you're putting car oil in a zx10r then you should probably be in a car.

use a m/c oil. Any half decent semi or full synth will do.Just don't leave it in there forever.
If it's really cold and your using the bike then maybe a thinner oil such as a 10w40.

all oils have magnetic "clinging" properties.

Never put car oil in a motorbike...

Reason being the car engine oil's have slippery additives etc.

a motorbikes clutch uses the engine oil (unlike a car) so running car oil with these additives will make your clutch slip like a bastard.

Well apparently not!

It only has 160hp, has fucked rings and is slow.

I suggest you use WD40 in future.

Sorry, but with a name like The Joka, well what is one to assume?

Try Canola oil, its way cheaper and easy to get, it worked a treat on my bacon and eggs this morning as well. Cant go wrong with it
