I like it too and Walmarts has been keeping it stocked. Almost thought of trying the vr1 Dyno oil but Menards only had 3 quarts. Have about 4 changes on it this summer, think I'm going to stick with it till it's cooler then M1 15-50.. At least it's motor cycle oil and jaso ma/ma2 rated.

Mostly this year because I still have some. Thinking M1 will be better for cold weather starting.

I've run Quicksilver synthetic in my last 2 bikes with no issues. My main concern before I tried it was to find out who was actually making this oil. It's manufactured by Mercury Marine and they have plenty of experience in the manufacture of lubricants that are used in applications that would be considered "rough duty".

I made the switch to this oil 5 months ago, as you can see I live in Arizona and yes went riding on a 105 degree day. I could not have been happier with this oil. After riding 140 miles( had too) normally I do not like to ride above 100 degrees. But back to the answer, I pulled into the garage and the bike was running very smooth and did not feel over heated. I was. I have also made plenty of short and long rides, Engine was quite and smooth, that is the confusing part it actually felt smoother. I did also do a primary change with the same oil but stayed with Redline severe in the transmission.

It's oil, it's all the same except for the marketing that makes one brand more expensive than the other.
They all meet the same specs which by the way Mobile, Quicksilver and all the others do not.
Your your manual states to use an HDEO diesel oil.
Again it doesn't matter what oil you use but I trust the engineer's who designed the engine more then words in a forum.
I use Mystik JT8

Huh?
Umm...sure they meet them and why they suggest you use diesel rated heavy duty engine oil if you don't use their oil.

Just giving u a hard time. Thought of using mystic but not stocked locally. Also thought about using the VR1 but just barley stocked at Menards. Pretty happy with the GS with the jap rating.
