Oil change and product test.

[Uno979]

I will be "taking one for the team" or " biting the bullet" so to say.

I plan on changing my oil with Royal Purple and after a tank if gas I will give a review on before and after performance, engine temps and shifting. They really stand by their product and I'm really wanting to take it for a test run.

It will be a couple weeks but I will update when done and after the initial test.

Subscribing. Thanks, I too have been interested.

I use Mobil One 10w40 full synth in both bikes, but have often wondered about all the hype of the more boutique oils. A lot of people swear by them and I'd happily spend the extra for better protection and increased performance...
Will be waiting to see your results and opinion... Thanks!

I am definitely watching to see how it turns out. I want to see if it really will make a difference.

Used the Yamalube on the 600mi oil change. Only thing the dealer had. Curious to see how this works.

Just one note.... almost all synthetic oils are going to do great the first day you put them in.

Another "test" will be to save the oil you take out (pictures, notes about it, etc.) and the mileage when you changed it. Then do the same with the royal purple.... then let us know this info as well.

The only true way to know anything for sure is to do an oil analysis on the new oil. They will specifically tell you what is in it and the condition of your engine by what they find in it. They can even tell you how much longer you can extend your oil changes. Its fairly cheap as well.

I've heard something from a mechanic friend of mine before saying how some companies hate royal purple that it would void their warranty or so on the bike if they found out that you used it or something...

 

[whatever]

been using the rottela 15w 40 that stuff is awesome for the price.... i here is does pretty good in the oil test also.

 

[dart1963]

OK, let's not get carried away, saying what oil we use, why, how... Uno has offered to be a guinea pig and is willing to test out something new on his bike....

If you got some good advice like jspansel, post up, otherwise, there are plenty of other threads that talk about oils.

Is this useful? Amsoil FTW!

Thanks Dart. Yes no one get their panties in wads..

Basically it's like this..


1. The oil in my bike has only 200 miles on it.
2. I plan on warming her up, ridding for a few miles, 20-50 or so, note the running temps and feel on switching gears and the clutch and general performance and vibrations.
3. Come home change the oil to Royal Purple and repeat.

I will be honest if I can tell a difference or not. I am a very very picky person and I'm sure there may be differences.

The oil in it now is YamaLube 20W-50.
I will use the same weight in RP.

Also there is nothing in the Manual about running that brand specifically so I'm doing this.

Wow...

I needed them with me when I used to be a vendor for them.
I'd have made millions. Okay maybe not, just a few assault charges or something.. :iconbeer: :justkidding:

Well, they are jugs of synthetic right!?!

 

[creggur]

Well, they are jugs of synthetic right!?!

:thumbup: - And available in quarts or gallons...

I'll take the quarts (the blonde one)! :thumbup:

Well I guess I'll settle for the gallons.:sinister:



Seriously though, I've seen so many oil threads descend into chaos over the years with people getting banned as the result. Here we can just talk about boobs waiting on Uno's test results. This place rocks!:rockon:
