Question about Synthetic Oil at 600 mile service

Had to get my 2 cents worth in, I also have a new zx-10r green machine, I changed oil and filter at about 10 miles, replaced it with regular mineral oil, I believe Silokene, then rode it about 500 miles and switched to Redline synthetic and a new filter, seems all is well at about 1500 miles and she runs like a bitch! eddie

 

I have been told that using honda non synthetic oil is all that you need-period.

 

OK ! :yield:

 

This is the funniest thing I have read on here yet. Good Job! Very Nice!

 

Only semi-related but I switched my old 98 dodge Ram over to synthetic with 85K on the clock. The only way synthetic oil will leak is if you already have a leak with dino based oil. I sold the truck with almost 140k and used less than a half quart at 5000 mile oil changes. I also use K&N oil filters without any issues. just my .02

 

For "F" Sake Simply answered " Y E S " !!!!!!:wink:

 

you guys change your oil?:tongue:

 

While were on the subject....... what tires should i buy?:rofl:

 

but were those issues you saw due to the oil?
specifically the supposed "early" shift to synth?
I have done Mobil 1 at the 600 mile change, and the Honda stuff too, and even the Yamaha synth, depending on the bike
never had an issue, and yes, some of those motors went well over 25-30k
took one bike past 60k, and my 98 VFR was at 48k when it was stolen

just cause a person did A and B happened, doesn't mean A causes B

Triumph ships their bikes with syth
Porsche, amongst others, ships their cars with synth. I have seen Porsches with over 30k on the motor, with no issues. Actually, near 200,000 miles on an '86 911, and never an engine issue.

 

PETA is PISSED!!!

:frusty:

If one more post goes to this thread about oil, the PETA folks will stop chasing Michael Vick and instead focus on the General VFR Discussion Forum. They will undoubtedly demand this Discussion be immediately deleted from the site due to your cruelty. Apparently it is cruel to continue to beat the dead horse has already been beaten so badly.

 

Oil . . . a slippery subject.

 

What's oil? I hear it's slick.:sorry:

 

Nice tires Reg!

I've heard the best way to break in new tires is pour synthetic oil on them after 600 miles. Apparently gives the rubber a better "bite" on the road!

 

I heard that putting oil on your tires makes the rubber swell up therfore increasing your final drive ratio resulting in better milage, so yes, sythetic oil saves gas!!!!:biggrin: :biggrin:


(and yes i run synthetic oil in all the bikes)

 

Ahhhh the good old oil tread. I see it has started to decend into sillyness. I like it. Just change the damn stuff regularly.
