#99346 revit (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 11 Synthetic Oil 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Can anyone tell me if they have used the Mobile One "V TWin" full synthetic oil in a Roadstar? My local dealer discouraged it as he said it would make my clutch slip. One reason I was told to use it was to help quite my "chirping" sound in my clutch. Thanks, Revit   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #99349 TBA Stormin (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 142 Re:Synthetic Oil 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Several threads on oil.. And several people use moble 1 and other types of synthetic oil. I personally use Moble 1 and have for about 10000 miles. I havent had any problems.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #99350 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 13198 Re:Synthetic Oil 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I don't think your clutch is chirping. Check your belt tension. It might be loose.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #99357 revit (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 11 Re:Synthetic Oil 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Thanks for the info on the Mobil One. I am going to go ahead and change it.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #99360 revit (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 11 Re:Synthetic Oil 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Hey Musky, Good to hear from you guys again. Haven't been online in about six months so I had to re-register as a new user before I could log on. I wish it was my belt but it will do it sitting still as soon as you pull in the clutch lever. Sounds like an old staight shift car when the throw-out bearing was going bad.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #99405 Txlineman914 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 71 Re:Synthetic Oil 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I use Mobil 1 V-twin... Good oil and no problems with 10,000 + miles.. Funny thing, I too was told not to use this oil because it was designed specifically for Harleys. Was told that 20/50 was to thick for the Roadie and would cause clutch problems... After reading on here about all the other people using it decided the guy was full of s**t.. Needless to say he no longer works on my bike...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #99419 drsmith (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 8 Re:Synthetic Oil 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   synthetic is the best..!use mobil 1 15-50w change every other year 9k or so,i do change the filter to clean her up check this link http://bobistheoilguy.com/ good info   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #99424 javawave (User) Over 16781 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 3191 Re:Synthetic Oil 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I used the Yami 15w - 50 this time.

Wait! Gold Boarder Posts: 895 Re:Synthetic Oil 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Last oil change, I decided to go retro... I went to NAPA and pulled 4 Qts. of Castrol "20-50 synthetic" off the shelf (At a mere 6.50 a Qt.)... I used to use it in all my IBCs (Itty Bitty Cars) Was running Yami 20-50 synth. For the first 150 miles my engine was so quiet I got a little nervous, but after a 530 mile run all the proper sounds are back... just as they should be... The choice for Castrol was purly an economic one... I figure, for the cost... every three oil changes I do will be like getting a fourth one free!   Logged     Over 50...? Never miss the oppertunity to pee, never waste an erection... And never, ever, trust a fart!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #99441 thebru (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 661 Re:Synthetic Oil 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I've tried several oils in my R*. The best so far is Mobil 1 Synth 15-50. About $22 for 5 qts at Wal-Mart. My bike just purrs on it. A close second was Rottella T dino oil. Ran great on that too. I now use Rotella in all my cars.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/07/10 08:59 By thebru.     The administrator has disabled public write access.
