Engine oil VALVOLINE or MOTUL
Valvoline VR1 for the track car. Valvoline VR-1 is a very highly reviewed oil with a high zinc content to keep race engines running with very minimal wear.
I believe the final takeaway was that Valvoline Max protection was the best
I changed my engine oil at 5k km on my own because the bike felt shit to drive, heating up too much + shitty mileage, my guess is that RE uses an improper grade or bad quality oil, i used the motul 10w50 fully synthetic oil, it's an immediate and huge improvement, mileage, heating, smoothness, clutch, everything improved, and I'm not even exaggerating.
I just switched to Valvoline EP 0w20 after using Mobile 1 all my life, for a very important reason...
...the easy to open top with a built in pour spout. So good.
Would be better to use a quality full synthetic instead. Motul 7100 is very popular but there are other options. I'm thinking about giving the Shell/Ducati oil a try.
For this reason I run Valvoline 20W-50 VR1 which has high zinc and phosphorus to deal with the extra loads the flat-tappets put on the camshaft vs roller tappets.
Well if you ride a dirtbike i might not reccomend it i use motul 7100 10w50 i belive it isnt rly expensive and its a good oil most of the local racers use it including me.
This is amazing . I have it in my 200 ns and it feels so smooth. There is 300v too but i never tried it . 7100 is best engine oil beside petronas if you can locate it anywhere
The Motul 7100 20W50 is a good choice.
I refused the engine oil change -as I had plans to go the motul 7100(10w40) route- but air filter needed to be changed and so will the brake pads within the next thousand kms as informed by the service guy. After the service, I could feel a difference in the top end, as in it reaches 110 quicker, but then again might be my imagination.
