New Oil : Yamaha R6 : R6 Forum

So today I switched from the Yamalube to the Mobil 1, i think it was a 15W-50. To say the least, it is money. I was very surprised to see how much smoother shifting was with the wet-plate clutch. I am very impressed and recommend this Oil to all.

What oil do you guys run in your engines?

I'm still in breakin on my new R6, but for my cars, i've used nothing but mobile 1 supersyn for about 6-7 years.

I have used Yamalube, Motul 5100, Mobil 1 MXT and now I run Silkolene.

Silkolene is head and shoulders above the rest as far as the smoothness of tranny, clutch feels lighter too. Not to mention the bike also seems to run 5-10 degrees cooler than the Mobil 1.

Mobile 1 15W-50 - all the oil you will ever need.

Wal - mart 19 bucks for 5 quarts... It doesnt get any better..

I use M1 also, I just used the last of my red cap last week, I'm guessing the new "red cap" is now the "gold cap" stuff.
