vs
Engine oil ROWE or Lucas
Personally I run Lucas oil in mine, not just my current zzr600, but even my older vintage bikes when I had them. It isn’t crazy expensive and is high quality.
Pros: high quality, not expensive
I run Lucas in all 3 holes and my bike has been cooler, less noise and shifts smoother than it did when I got it and it had Harley fluids in it.
Pros: cooler, less noise
Rowe 5W40, every 10K or 1 year
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 10000 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
My mechanic added a bunch of Lucas to the oil, which he said might at least quiet it down, and it did. It's quieter now, but I can still hear it at idle.
Pros: quieter engine knock
Cons: still audible at idle
Got these Rowe bottles. Fully Synthetic. German. Lets see how it performs.
I installed an oil cooler on my buddy's 370z and he dumped in oil and a full bottle of this and I just scratched my head
