Do guys use a different weight oil other then what is recommended in the owners manual for your race bike? My engine is stock but as a race bike we are always in the higher RPM's.

I tried finding something in the forum search but nothing popped up so figured I would ask.

Ive been running Shell Rotella Full Synthetic 5W-40 (comes in a blue bottle)ever since I started doing trackdays...never had an engine problem.

Probably the cheapest oil out there you can use. It also has the JASO-MA certification on there too to put yourself at ease.

Ectoplasm..


Mobil 1 4T Racing. Two full race seasons plus 3 track seasons using the same stuff, no issues. Plus one very dependable 675.. which I am currently missing very much. =(

I will say this though....

My girlfriend has recently started using Torco Fully Synthetic and her SV650 runs great. It actually runs cooler than the previous oils she has used.

Another racer friend of mine uses it and he swears by it also.

Spectro is good stuff! I've run that but mostly run Silkolene as I get quite a few oil changes in contingency!

I ran Mobil1 4T for years....Just swiched over to the Silkolene when I started getting checks...
