Engine oil Motorex or ROWE
I have always used Motorex. I have the same bike and 3 other KTM’s. Always Motorex. I know it is spendy but it’s very high quality
Pros: very high quality
Cons: it is spendy
Rowe 5W40, every 10K or 1 year
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 10000 km
In my Shiver 750, Motul or Motorex every 3,500 miles were required to keep neutral findable when you want it and hidden when you don’t. False or impossible-to-find neutrals were a sign that it was time for an oil change.
Pros: findable neutral
Cons: impossible-to-find neutrals
Mileage: 3500 km
I found out that most of it came from the valve lifters. So I began using Rowe 10W40 engine oil. That helped a lot.
Pros: helped a lot
Mileage: 230000 km
The road spec oils are excellent for daily driving and trackdays. Smoother engine, better engine efficiency, no oil consumption.
Pros: smoother engine, better efficiency
Cons: no oil consumption
ITS A LOT THICK! than other brands of the same weight.. but when you abuse the vehicle it gets smooth like butter. I like them if I plan to aggressively dune bash.
Pros: gets smooth like butter
Cons: a lot thick
I use Rowe as well and it's fantastic. No complains so far
Pros: fantastic
Cons: no complains
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I use rowe on all my cars, amazing oil but it’s more expensive
Pros: amazing oil
Cons: more expensive
Vehicle:
Mercedes
Honestly Motorex is a good oil, but it is extremely expensive for what you get. I specialize in performing Used Oil Analysis (Worked for Reliability departments for mining outfits) and it’s just a Ho Hum oil.
Pros: good oil
Cons: extremely expensive
I paid $90 bucks for a full oil change the first time, using motorex. now for my 2nd change, she's getting Rotella T6 because it's cheaper. I put on too many miles a month to shell out $90 bucks every 3k miles.
Pros: null
Cons: expensive oil change
