Oils ain’t oils sol!

Silkolene for me. Anyone run an oil analysis on their bike? I did some on my cars

 

[GaryA]

Me too!

Me three!

 

[sonny]

Mobil one. Fiat, Harley and the Rocket. Forgot wife's truck Chevy. All synthetic. Good price and readily available. Do you have a bike with 98,000 miles? I do and it is even a Harley that still runs. Enough said.

Mine seems to prefer Mobil1. Have tried Castrol 4T and Rotella full syn. Shifts like butta with Mobile 1.

Mobil 1 4T 10w40 in all my three of my current bikes, Valkyrie, VTX1300, & R3. Easy to find.

Penrite 100% PAO Ester synthetic 15w50 - MC4T - interval 15,000km (12 months).

When the Rocket first came out in 2004 Triumph recommended Mobil oil products a few years later Castrol came along and offered them a better deal that is why they now recommend Castrol purely for profit reasons, lots of fine oil brands to choose from I myself switch between Mobil4t and Amsol

Wrong Fred it shifts like butter because you had your gears undercut stock Rocket gearboxes are noisy clunky and did I say noisy

I came from a suzuki. People 3 cars away heard me shifting.

When I had my second update kit installed (yes, two different times), when I went to change the oil and pulled the first drain plug bright red oil started pouring out. I panicked as it reminded me of ATF.

Wish I knew exactly what oil they used as it seemed to hold up really well.
