Default Amsoil

I know there are many many threads on oil, but I figured I would post my experience to help guys out if possible . I had bike serviced and used amsoil full syn 20w50 and filter , amsoil severe gear , non syn primary oil . It appears the motor ticking has disappeared or as close to it as possible , and a noticeable difference , for the better when shifting . While I have not sent oil out for a test , it seems to be a great choice . Ride safe and get out there .

I've also read it lowers the engine and oil temps 20 degrees and adds more power, and can be used as a floor polish AND a desert topping

It's pretty tasty on Cheerios, but you'd better be close to the bathroom.

I haven't ran it in my Harley but I did do a test with it in a commercial small engine, 38 HP Kohler. I ran a regular big name oil for 125 hours, which is the interval I change it, and then ran Amsoil small engine full synthetic for 125 hours. Running wise I donr really know that it ran any better but I can say the 1st oil was black when changed it and had a burnt smell, the amsoil still looked like golden honey. To me, that justifies the price of it in my small engine and I will continue to use it.

Amsoil, Lucas, Syn 3, I will run any of them and do stick with synthetic. Started with Amsoil about 20 years ago.

30 degrees and you are confused about desert topping. They were referring to it as a personal lubricant.
