I use the Leichtlauf High Tech Engine Oil (5w-40). It's TBN is quite a bit higher and I think the evaporation loss is lower.
I run the 5w-40 synthetic liqui moly in the dark blue bottle. can be sourced locally in US at NAPA for about $45. Many run the Mobil one 0w-30, I use that along with a LM engine flush, which I do every oil change( 6 month intervals) I have tried the 5w.-30 from Liqui Moly also. Best performance hands down 5w-40 year round. It has all the specs for our cars.
since I have been using the Liqui Moly I really have not had that much of an issue with oil loss.
Shell T6 rottella can be found for $10-12 (us) per gallon after sale and rebate. It is worth stocking lol.
Go find some Shell Rotella T6 at Walmart and use that. 5W-40, and it is rated JASO-MA so it's safe for wet clutch applications. I run it in both bikes and my car; it stands up to sheer and fuel dilution well.
Rotella T6. Don't waste your money on special bike oil. I used it in my ninja 250, my sumo, my speed triple. same oil for everything.
I actually just bought that Liquid Moly 5w-40 on Amazon, more expense but reviews for our cars are great. Will report back after my next oil change.
Going to use what I use on all my VW's - Liqui Moly Good quality and Amazon has some great prices.
You need to run the 507.00 spec oil. I have been running Shell Rotella T6 Heavy Duty Diesel 5W-40 oil. They other one that I want to start using and is more widely recommended is Liqui Moly 4200 Top Tec 5W-30. The reason why I mention this is because the 507.00 spec oils has better lubrication then the other 501 and 506 spec oils. If the wrong spec oil is used it has a tendency to produce premature Cam shaft lobe wear requiring the replacement of the cam shafts.
I used castrol edge 502 spec , although Iwatched pauls from DAP video and he specs Liqui Moly, which seems like a high quality german oil.
