Motor oils?

Post by Drnick » Mon Apr 30, 2018 3:28 pm

First, I tried a search for motor oils on this forum,and didn't see any posts on this,Kawasaki dealer near me doesn't stock
Kawasaki synthetic oils?!,and Amsoil,which I normally use on my bikes,is hard to find,so my question is; Mobil one
( For motorcycles) is widely available near me,and I've been using this In my other"Toys"...Has anyone else been using this
In the H2?

I run the Kawasaki full synthetic. Seems odd that the dealership doesn't stock Kawasaki oil. Should be wash
Easy enough to find online though.

I'm using the Mobil 1 4T in mine. All of 20 miles so far on it...so I can't really speak for experiences on this particular bike with it, but it's good stuff, used it plenty of times in the past.

Do we know that the "break in" oil is dino? Lots of modern vehicles come with synthetics straight from the manufacturer.

Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is, however, extremely unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence, or stupidity
