Back to Spectro for me although Mobil One is good stuff too!Yamaguy55 said:So I can only assume the supplier changes periodically....
I would be unlikely to assist Hugo in his endeavors....
Back to Mobil One.
I'm intrigued enough about this to drop by my Yamaha dealer and see if their docs say the same. There could be multiple suppliers, for all I know. The reason I cut over the Mobil was an associate was involved in some vintage racing at Daytona, found on air cooled Moto Guzzis, they ran over 100 degrees cooler using Mobil One. Lots of very demanding high performance manufacturers require it. Granted, they're cars, but Corvettes and Ferraris aren't light duty cars. I've had very good results with it.Combo said:Back to Spectro for me although Mobil One is good stuff too! Yamaha will change this (if it's true and it may be.........lowest price contract thing) if enough folks jump in on it.
I don't know...that may be a bigger no-no. A dark SUV with unreadable plates may whisk you away at 3AM never to be seen again!toompine said:I have used Mobile 1 MX4T for a very long time and had not considered switching to a Yamaha oil.

Well then I will put Suzuki oil in mine ;Dlotecredneck said:Our MSDS sheets show that Hugo Chavez (Citgo) is making it

Before this thread got rolling, I never paid much attention to the labels on the oil, I just used the Mobil 1 made for bikes. I decided to go out to the garage and see what the latest bottle had on it. They changed the name to "Racing 4T" and the spec says JASO MA. Well, good enough. That is for the 10-40 stuff, don't have any of the 20-50 goo to look at, as I don't use petroleum glue anymore now that I have nothing but LC/FI bikes.toompine said:I have used Mobile 1 MX4T for a very long time and had not considered switching to a Yamaha oil.

bvail said:Ahhhhhh! The dreaded NEPRT Now we get to the critical stuff. Oil filters! A long treatis can be found on filters at the above website, including cross references to make/model.
I'm sure they work, but I like to toss the crud, filter and all, out. I don't miss the filters like my WRR, the older XTs and other have where you open a cavity, remove the element, put in a new one. I would like it less to have to clean said element and put it back together. But that's me, and I'm sure others have different priorities. I'm old and lazy.rem said:I would be very keen on knowing how any of you feel about the permanent metal screen mesh oil filters. The manufacturers promote it well, but somehow I'm not sold. I like the concept but want to be assured that it was effective.
Does anyone have direct experience with them? Thanks. R

Noooooooooooo! Say it ain't so! Oil filters...Gee I wonder who makes the YamaFilters...Fram?toompine said:Talking filters now? I know a verrrry long thread over on the Multistrada.net thread I can link us to. :'( Actually it was a good one posted by a lubrication engineer with years of test experience in filters. If there is an interets I will find it again
I had one of those dandy s/s mesh filters on my FJR1300. It was real pretty, but expensive bling that only filtered down to 30 microns, and was a messy PIA to clean. I'll take one of those cheap Super Tech filters from Wally World any day. I think it was a Scott filter.Yamaguy55 said:I'm sure they work, but I like to toss the crud, filter and all, out.

Crush washer thread! )bvail said:But crush washers. How many miles can one get before changing? I got 130,000 miles on my Isuzu pickup before I had to break down and put in a new one.
Already said it: with all that is going on, this is the closest we're going to get to an S10 this year. :'(bvail said:Noooooooooooo! Say it ain't so! Oil filters...Gee I wonder who makes the YamaFilters...Fram?
Well, ok, we can do the thread drift. Here's one: http://www.calsci.com/motorcycleinfo/Consumables.html#OilFilters
