Feeling like summer already =( 20W-50

Nemesis · May 1st, 2012, 01:33 PM

I use Motul on my 250 and Repsol on my 600. Have you guys used Repsol? Freakin' awesome! No funnel needed (has an inner snout incorporated) and smells awesome!

choneofakind · May 1st, 2012, 01:38 PM

20W-50? that's heavier both cold and warm.

10W-40 is what is recommended by Kawasaki.

thurt88 · May 1st, 2012, 01:39 PM

Ha ! Castrol 10-40 mc oil, from Advance Auto. Works great and its close to my house. As a side note its the only oil I can find that isnt synthetic around here.

GeneJunkie · May 1st, 2012, 01:51 PM

I just switched by bike to synthetic Mobil1 10W-40... I should have done it sooner it shifts like a dream compared to regular motor oil.

Currently running Amsoil 10w40 full synthetic, found it on sale cheaper then Rotella T6.

The Vulcan gets Shell Rotella T since it takes 2.5x as much.

Just did the 600mi oil change with Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10w40 and a Kawasaki filter/o-rings.

15W 50 SS Yamalube... It's sold by the Yamaha guys, and I've heard some good things about it. Also using a K&N oil filter...

DaBlue1 · May 2nd, 2012, 07:04 AM

Been running Castrol Act Evo X-tra 4T 20W-50 for the last 2 years. I've used K&N, WIX and Fram oil filters and the only difference I've seen between them is the amount of money spent.

H1DD3NxK1LL3R · May 3rd, 2012, 09:20 PM

That depends entirely on how many miles your bike has done... Dont even think of fully synthetic before 5000miles... Till then you can use semi synthetic...
