Amsoil

[Cnc2004]

I was thinking of converting to Amsoil from Yamahalube. Which Amsoil do I use. 0w40 4 stroke... 0w30 automotive (is this ok in a bike engine,,I relalize that there's no internal clutch..) Or what??? 2003 RX1 1700 mi.
Thanks in advance.

0W40 4 stroke is the one I use.

 

[easylord]

Same grade.

0W40 4-stroke here

I run 0w40 Mobil 1. I would use 0w30 though if you start / run a lot in very cold temps.

Go with the 0-40 four stroke. I couldn't believe how quiet and smooth that mill became after throwing the Amsoil in...

0w-40 amsoil here too

 

[zook]

seems like everyone uses the 0w-40 amsoil. Thats what I have in my sled.

I use 0W30 amsoil in mine. I just couldn't justify 10 bux a liter for a semisynthetic when I could get a full synthetic for 8.

Ran the sled last weekend in West Yellowstone when they hit a new record low of -45F, damn that was cold. No oiling problems at all with the amsoil.

I would have tried mobil but couldn't find 0w30 when it came time to buy oil.

What's "too" cold to be runnin 0w40. And since the 0w30 is for auto's, is it OK to run it??

 

[Cnc2004]

Forgive my ignorance,,,1st 4 stroke sled. F7 prior to this. Just don't want to screw anything up...Plus I never got my manual when I bought the sled used, but I am going to order one.

Amsoil.....

Why is Amsoil into that "Cult Marketing"?

Is it owned / distributed by Amway or something?



Where do you buy yours?

 

[Red2003]

I'd run 0w30 if you consistently start and run the machine below zero. I've run both and although any 0w... should start the same cold, the 40 seemed to turn over harder and I got some high end knock for about 15 seconds when started at -20 F with the 0w40. Both were Mobil 1 fully synthetic.

 

[rochmatt27]

wow!

that is cold where you ride!

It usually is above 0 in our coldest months here in Rochester, NY....


probably average temp I would be riding is is about 15 degrees F


so the 40 should be good.... I think?

Amsoil?

The Amsoil doesnt cause any problems with the starter clutch does it?
