I put Amsoil 10w40 in my FZ6 and it's a miracle... - Page 2 - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

When I raced I had my one and only sponsorship from a buddy who sold Amsoil. I guess it was better, all I knew is I got FREE oil, oil fitlers and Amsoil Air Filters. They were like a UNI Air Filter.

I pay $5usd at wally world for a full synthetic oil that has a flash point well in excess of 400F. I've used the same viscosity in all my vehicles and bikes (with the exception of the 2 strokes). One of those vehicles (a Jeep) has been put through hell for 200,000 miles dirt and street. The oil gets changed in that Jeep every 10,000 miles.

Don't get me wrong, Amsoil is good but not better enough to warrant the additional hassle of getting it and the additional expense.

Yea, well my FZ6 is the oldest. It has just over 2500 miles since last summer. My XR650l has just over 500 since november and me new FJR will be ready for it's first change before the oil arrives.

Not sure if its any better for the bike, but i heard that it doesnt help the libido as much.

I use the 20w-50w amsoil in both yamahas. I feel it is closer to what yam specs out. ie 20-40.

I have heard very good things about Mobile1 as well but Amsoil is supposedly the king of the hill.
