#950228 Fegpa63 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 89 What kind of engine oil are you running? 2 Years ago   20w, 10w, cold weather, hot weather, so confusing. Read all the studies, makes little sense to me. What are you guys running personally in YOUR bikes??   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #950256 Dogbone (User) AUDENTES FORTUNA JUVAT Platinum Boarder Posts: 1433 Re:What kind of engine oil are you running? 2 Years ago   Mobil one synthetic, 20w50 for v-twins. Anything else would be uncivilized.   Logged     ' width='250' border='0' style='max-width:450px; ' />   The administrator has disabled public write access. #950259 Shores (User) Go getchur scooter! Platinum Boarder Posts: 6961 Re:What kind of engine oil are you running? 2 Years ago   Mobil 1 and AmsOil 20-50 synthetic are the most often praised here. Depends on your local temperature also. I think I'll switch to 10-40 AmsOil.   Logged     The west is the best - Jim Morrison Photo by GreenMachine   The administrator has disabled public write access. #950263 LDofDC (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3093 Re:What kind of engine oil are you running? 2 Years ago   Mobil 1 20w50 v-twin. No problems from 45 degrees up to 111 degrees last summer.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #950274 Crokolyle (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 348 Re:What kind of engine oil are you running? 2 Years ago   Mobil One V-Twin 20-50 but may switch to Amsoil as brother in law is a dealer and maybe he will cut me a deal!!!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #950277 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 6530 Re:What kind of engine oil are you running? 2 Years ago   Wesson... it's got the most trans fats and that prevents lifter shear, which is important for these older V-Twin motors... Not to mention, it's WAY cheaper on than anything on the market and my french fries never tasted so good! They sell these 1 gallon jugs at Wallyworld for only $4.99   Logged     Last Edit: 2016/02/19 20:13 By Doc_V.   It\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s been lots of fun guys...

I prefer a 10-40 oil for mine but not sure thats recommended. 20-50 seems too thick in the cold. I'm in Montana.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #950316 Dogbone (User) AUDENTES FORTUNA JUVAT Platinum Boarder Posts: 1433 Re:What kind of engine oil are you running? 2 Years ago   40-50 degrees is no problem for the 20w50. Can't advise on what works in colder temps because it doesn't get any colder than that here.   Logged     ' width='250' border='0' style='max-width:450px; ' />   The administrator has disabled public write access. #950327 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 6530 Re:What kind of engine oil are you running? 2 Years ago   Here's a good rule of thumb for temp ranges... Though at well above 30 degrees, 20w50 will result in certain reactions and noises in the R*... Nothing detrimental mind you. But you will hear/feel it until the engine warms up. Just don't gun a cold motor in cold weather.   Logged     It\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s been lots of fun guys...

Anyone use anything besides Mobil 1 VTwin? Seems the 10w40 has a wider temp range.....how come Roadstars need 20 weight oil, or is the 10w ok to run? just wondering.
