And I wonder how you "drain" that oil....Originally Posted by bomma
i find that the best oil is found on the face of teenaged virgins that work at takeaway joints
Anyone know what happens when you mix different kinds of oils together i.e. for example if you were using Mobil before and then switch to Castrol half way through....
Forum whore
Not sure but you can do a test. Get a clear see through glass bottle, fill the bottle up with both types of oil, cover the lid and give it a good shake, leave it overnight and see the results.
Don't just live to ride but ride to live.
Forum whore
same thing as if you added additives;
unknown reaction between chemicals
(which is a common problem in medicine where they often don't know how different drugs interact with each other until a patient dies)
just get near the bottom of the tank before switching - that way you'll actually get a better idea of which oil runs better. either that or go and clean out teh whole system
Forum whore
Then you would end up with your own brand bro.
Not an ideal situation.

Been riding with Mobil 1 for the past week and the difference is noticeable. The ride's smoother and the exhaust's cleaner (no noticeable gunks). Going to keep riding with Mobile 1 for a couple of weeks and then will give Castrol TTS a go.
Forum whore
Why are you changing it so quick? Mobil 1 being a synthetic will last 3 times longer than a mineral oil

In the riders seat
TTS is a two stroke oil, maybe he's talking two stroke rather than four
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."
Forum whore
pretty sure he mentioned it's a two stroke.... he did mention the exhaust not gunking...
for the record he's riding an aprilia RS250
Hardcore Biker
Yeah but want to give Castroll TTS a go and see if it has a noticeable difference. Apparently, it's better designed for 2 strokers.
Yeah I was ...
It's definitely not gunking now. Out with Motul...
Forum whore
On what basis is it better do you know? (just interested in your thoughts)

he gets more "ding" for each "ringadingding..."

No I don't. I was told by someone who used race them. I would like to know though if someone knew the details of which oil is better dependent on the bike since it makes a difference in how the bike performs.

Found a good article explaining which oils to use and why - http://www.peterverdonedesigns.com/motoroil.htm

i run my yz400f with motul or preferably golden spectro (parrafin wax based and often cheap too) if i can find it
just make sure it's synthetic and exceeds the api SJ rating or whatever the manual specifies for your bike (so SL is good too)
if kawasaki has an equivalent to yamalube, don't buy it it's horribly overpriced for what it is
i've tried a caltex oil from gas stations but prefer to buy from a bike shop.... ultimately i don't think you're noing to notice much performance difference in a four stroke until it comes time for a rebuild, and even then...
