Rotella T synthetic for the Spyder

[AMTJIM]

For the Suzuki SV...a much prefered oil was Shell Rotella T synthetic "blue bottle"...an oil for high compression diesel engines...Your thoughts for the spyder?

I met an old guy once who said he will not use anything but amsoil......I trusted him and been following his footsteps since, never had a problem........love Amsoil.

Keep in mind I do not yet have a SPyder, but oh yeah I plan to run Amsoil in that as well.

2 products that died to me in the '80s...amsoil and avon tires. They may be better now, but I'll stick with the time tested stuff.

Guess what I used in my last oil change.

I will probably switch to AMSoil after my service contract runs out. Right now, my scheduled maintenance, including all materials, is paid for for 3 years, unlimited mileage. I think Im gonna make a deal on this one...LOL

I was wondering about using Mobil 1. That's what I use in my Truck, and my wife's Mazda. That's the only oil I have used for the past several years.

Been running Redline products in my other bike. Quieter top end, smoother shifting, and no clutch slip. For the Spyder, I'll stick with the BRP oil for now. Remember that one oil does all for this, not only does it lubricate engine components, it has to handle high stress loads in the tranny, and have the correct friction for the clutch. If one of the big players comes out with something Spyder specific I'll consider it, but the BRP oil doesn't cost any more than the others, and BRP can't raise any warranty issues.

Good Point! I really didn't think of it that way. :clap:

Make sure you use V-twin Mobil 1 for motorcycles.

Don't use the same as in your cars and trucks.
