What kinda oil does everyone use?

More specifically, I want to change the oil my self on my F4i but dont know which one to use?

Can I use full synthetic Mobil 1 5w-30 oil?

Id rather not have to go to a dealer for my oil like my friends used to.

Thanks

 

buy it on the net.

i use GN4 for my bike, i'm also wondering if car syn will be ok for the bike's tranny.

go to the dealer/net for filters anyway, might as well buy en masse.

 

Motul fully synth.

we just had an oil thread like a week ago....

Yamalube 20W/40 with K/N filters every 2000 miles (down from 2500)
Yamalube 10W/30 for wintertime operations

For the Elite I use Hondalube GN4 20W/40 with no filter (it doesn't have one)

 

just go to auto zone or advance and get motorcycle specific Mobil 1 Synthetic. Dont use car oil.

thanks guys

 

I use the MX4T 10W-40 in my bike with great success. I have 36k on my 1988 VT1100c and it runs as good as it did when new. Uses no oil.

i use 10w-40 Amsoil synthetic with a K&N filter.

 

anyone have sweet deals on bulk filter purchases?

 

DO NOT use car synthetic oil. The friction modifiers in standard automobile synthetic oils will damage a modern sport bike's wet clutch.

Repsol 5w-40 semi-synthetic in my F4.

Got any tech to back that up?

Synthetic oils have changed a lot in recent years and a lot of the old myths arent true anymore...

 

I only use semi synth myself... We change our oil so often now days this argument is almost moot.
