Either are up to the job, as long as they meet the recommended specs. I’ve run Yamalube Semi for the 34k miles that I’ve owned my bike, without issue. Many on here use fully, also without issue.
Really just personal choice.

Evolution, follow the path of Evolution and you won't be wrong, you just have to adapt. Lubricant engineers are constantly looking for the best for your motorcycle engine. They (and manufacturers) only let you choose the correct grade, depending on where you circulate and that is why they give you the guidelines to choose it….
Mineral < semisynthetic < synthetic
and specifically for the S10:
JASO MA < JASO MA2

Rotella T6 or T4
To start this off, I have used Rotella T6 and T4 in my other bikes. I has no issues with a 2007 V Star 1300 using T4, 2010 Goldwing using T6 but my Victory didn't like T6. The clutch dried out and chattered. As soon as I went back to Victory oil, it corrected itself. What have you guys had for...

Ester based oils
I thought long and hard before starting another engine oil thread but I was wondering if anyone on here has used an ester based oil in their S10 - or any other bike for that matter? As I understand it according to API, group 5 oils are ester based and engineered for high performance engines and...

Mobil 1 4t 10W40 for Super Tenere?
Hello, I don't want to be responsible for another oil thread, but I just wanted to make sure that the above Mobil 1 oil is good to use for the Tenere. I tried to look for threads related to it, and I couldn't really find anything to confirm that the Super Tenere will like that oil. I was going...

Is Motul 5100 same as Yamalube 10/40.

Oil change sticker shock...
Picked up the items required to do the first service on my Super Tenere and was shocked at the prices the dealer charged for the supplies. The Yamaha semi-synthetic 10W50 oil was $84CAD for four liters ($21CAD ea) and the oil filter was $21.97CAD. That's $14.79USD and $15.47USD respectively for...

WIX Oil Filters
I know I’m starting another oil filter debate but has anyone used WIX filters on their S10? I have always used OEM or HiFlo but was looking at other options. Why I’m doing it I’m not sure as I’ve never had a problem with either brand. Looked at Mahle because they get great reviews and somehow...

Just performed my first "Oil Flush" on my 2014 ES!
Since the bike has been sitting for the better part of a year (since my last big mile 3 week summer trip last year) and I have a multi-thousand mile trip coming up in a couple weeks (that I may turn into a B2B/BBG IBA ride) I figured I would get this done so I don't feel rushed and can take my...

Break-In oil age VS mileage - Not the typical oil question
I bought my2016 ES a couple of weeks ago with 220 miles on it. It was originally registered in July 2016 so it was 14 months old when I got it. I now have 450 miles on it and am not sure I will get to the 600 mile mark before the weather turns and I put it away for winter. I am sure it still...

After reading how much better an ester based oil performs in extreme circumstances, I recently did an oil service with IPONE Katana 10 W 40 synthetic. Gear changes were immediately smoother and finding neutral when stopped and running is now 'easy-peasy'. Prior to switching to synthetic, I've had 39k kilometers of trouble free miles on fossil oils. By changing to full synth., I suspect/hope that I can get away with annual oil changes as our riding season is short and the winters are long.

My answer to all oil threads is you can’t go wrong with these oils.
