Rotella T6 in my C14, Valkyrie, DR-650, Honda Rincon ATV and Honda Rancher ATV.

I have always run Mobil1 car oil for years without it causing problems. But I have recently switched to the mobil 1 motorcycle oil. But I noticed that it cost more than the car oil.

Maxima Extra4 15w-50 oil in my C-14.  It is VERY HOT in NorTX this summer and I feel confident in this stuff.  LOTS of ZDDP and Triple Ester formula -- Woo-hoo !!

I will have to say that since I've switched to Motul 300V 10W-40, mileage has increased noticeably, an average of roughly 4 mpg since I switched it out about a month ago.

Thats huge over an oil brand change, congrats.  What did you change from? Or translation, what oil do i not even want to use in my riding lawn mower

[stevewfl]

Mobil-1, 20w-50. Started at about 10k miles (bought the scoot new), have 165k miles now. The other Connie in the shed had ~ 18k miles when I started using Mobil-1 as above, now has 80k+ I change oil/filter at the same time as tires, about every 9k miles. Have gone longer.

I generally like the oil that comes in plastic containers with a screw top. And generally pour the oil into the hole in the engine case. And usually, but not always, so you can see it in the glass thingy in the engine case.

Oil is good, make sure you have some.

I mix T6 and Castrol 20W50 RS, bike shifts like butter.

Not really, I've consistently noticed mileage jumps going from mineral oil to synthetic oil in motorcycles, less so in cars.  But I was using the standard Motul non-synthetic oil before, in the same weight.
