well thanks, sparky. Did it occur to you that the newbie (6 posts as of now) wasn't even aware of the Oil forum and search capability?
I coulda just flamed him and not provided any links. That would have been bashing him; or calling him a dick -- now that would have really been bashing.
dick yourself.
------------------
In case you're confused, BULL0848, "what oil should I use" is probably one of the most often asked and hotly debated questions out there; hence the popcorn references (like at the movies - sit back and watch). Everyone has his or her own opinion, many have their own agendas and many jsut want to poke the fire.
In short, "what oil" is sorta like asking "which religion is best?"

HDV, interesting (I think) - do you have (or know where we can find) similar info on the other synthetics like Mobil 1, Redline, Amsoil, etc? Or, do we know for sure that they are 100% Group IV and V oils?

I have used the search feature and it sucks sometimes. It is easier to just ask what you want to know, if someone does not want to respond because it was posted before than don't. But by the time they start all the bashing because he didn't use the search they could of just answered his question.

I filled all 3 holes with Amsoil. I wouldn't trust my bike or car with anything else!
Who else can make guarantees like Amsoil? So far, nobody can guarantee protection for as long as Amsoil.
25K oil change intervals for the car oils and 15K oil change intervals for their motorcycle oils when used with their oil filters. That is better than any other oil on the market.

It's funny how people bash this topic. Without oil, windshields, audio systems, ABS and the list goes on, there would be no touring section. I hope that anyone can ask any question here that they might have. I realize that the ther is another area to post but let's step back, take a deep breath and post what we want to post. If I am sick of reading about something, I don't look at the post. Maybe some people are trying to get more posts under there belt to move up to the "next" level. Come on, can't we all just get along.

In decades of studying oil tests I've never seen one truly independent test that concluded that one oil was best for all applications and conditions, nor superior in all tests within a series. They're all good and it is great that you feel upbeat about using Amsoil, but it isn't the only high-quality oil on the block.
