Engine oil AMSOIL or PETRONAS
Me running 5w50 Amsoil SSO full synthetic or 0w50 Eneos or 0w40 Amsoil SSO if being used in winter (down to -40F, and yes, I've driven these cars down to that cold)
Synthetic is better, always. Higher not viscosity has better shear protection. A good additive package that has great shear protection lets the housings wear slower.
This is the second time I had put Amsoil in my scooter and I had to post the findings over here for my fellow scooter riders here.
The performance jump is noticable, my access now pulls pretty graciously post 60 km/h before it was more noise and less acceleration with Castrol 5w40 synthetic. You can feel the acceleration in your bum and hands when you twist the throttle after 65 or 70 which is where most if the 125 cc scooters flat out due to lack of power.
Even doing top speed for more than 1 hour in highways you will feel no vibration thats how smooth the engine+Amsoil combo is.
The smoothness of this oil with this suzuki engine is next level my friend who borrowed my scooter for a day (apache rider) said it feels like riding an electric scooter that's how smooth it is. So do try!
I use Amsoil SS mainly because I do long drains, over 20k Km. So the price of the oil is not a big issue.
Great oil but worth it only if you do long drains.
I literally just changed my oil today, I love it, I have been using AMSOIL directly for years now with free shipping and free membership if you spend 500 a year or more if I recall correctly.
I use AMSOIL signature series 0W-30 but the Mobil-1 suggested by others is totally fine — AMSOIL is awesome but is expensive.
I ran Amsoil in my 2002 7.3 for years and it worked well for me.
Valvoline is ok, but that specific oil does not have the rating required for your vehicle. AMSOIL has by far better additives to clean/restore the engine. If you are currently using AMSOIL, then continue using it.
I use Amsoil, all 3 holes.
The Engine oil is proven, the claim about the gearbox oil helping to find neutral easier was true for me, and the primary fluid does just that.
I have amsoil 20/50 in the crank, amsoil primary, and amsoil tranny. It’s the bees knees
After not being very impressed with Amsoil 5W-30 after a 5,000 mile oil analysis, I'm going to see how this stuff looks after 5K.
