which oil should i use?
amsoil 10w40
or pennzoil 10w40
or should i use a different weight?

Of the two you posted I would go with the amsoil 10w40. Just make sure the bottle does not say "Energy Conserving" anywhere. Those oils contain too much moly and could cause your clutch to slip. Are they car oils or bike brand oils?

 

[loserdude86]

amsoil 10w40 for bikes is what i run if i remember correctly.

 

[maximum guage]

No To Pennzoil!!!

 

[Land_Shark]

No To Pennzoil!!!

I second that ... and anyone who has ever torn apart an engine that had been running pennzoil will understand ...

thats the truth, and add Quaker State to that list of oils that you can tell when you tear apart an engine

Amsoil - you won't regret.

I've used Yamalube, Mobil 1 and Maxima synthetic and my bike runs so much better (cooler,smoother) with Amsoil. Also try Water Wetter by Redline.

what up skeeter heard u were pretty familar with oil!!! im currently running rotella 5w-40 car oil for 17 bucks 3.78 quarts!! the oil is not energy conserving nor does it have sj in it!!! heard some people were using it in race bikes without any problems! im only doing this so that oil changes will be cheaper but more frequent!! so far i havent encounted any problems!!!

 

[Evo4Emperor]

dude... AMSOIL

i have it on my R1 and instantly i noticed a difference with the bike...it runs smoother and just feels faster! my gas mileage even went up..i went from 20-25 in the city to 25-30 in the city and 30-40 on the highway...

amsoil FTW!

Lol, its been beaten to death but Amsoil is pretty good stuff. I use it in my cars as well as my bikes.

 

[z06boy]

I use Amsoil in my Vette but use Yamalube 20w40 in the bikes.

Yeah, I've talked to a few people at the track using the same oil. As far as I know they are happy with it. Like you said, frequent is the key along with a new filter at each change. :thumbup

amsoil 10w40 here

 

[MaxxRPM]

Amsoil cost TOO MUCH! Its just oil folks, not rocket science. Think about it, when is the last time you've heard of motor failure in a bike due to oil.
Change your oil regulary with any brand "motorcycle" oil and ride more worry less.:fork

 

[Speed_Devil]

Peoplw who do not like Penzoil remember parafin in the oil. Penzoil is now, and has for some time, been a pure-base oil....but I still don't use it either.

Amsoil is superior.

 

[tuscanR1]

amsoil 10w40
or pennzoil 10w40
or should i use a different weight?

AMSoil here as well, in everything. BTW, I have half a case sitting in my garage if you don't want to pay retail. PM me if you're interested.

 

[o6r1man]

I use yamalube 10-50 in mine as well as both of the r6 I had.
