#85015 Midnight1700 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 100 Re:O.K. , All you Mobil 1 users... 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   My RS* is coming up on 2000 miles. Is there a recommended number of miles I should wait before using a synthetic oil?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #85020 bowhunter4265 (User) Detroiter by Birth Eastsider by the Grace of God Senior Boarder Posts: 354 Re:O.K. , All you Mobil 1 users... 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   If you had your 600 or so mile service and it was changed then, you should be good till the 4,000 mile service. And do it at that time, but I do not think it hurts if you just want to change at anytime from dyno to syn. I drive a fair amount considering I only get 6 months to ride and changed the oil twice last summer and am ready for this seasons oil change already.   Logged     Paul K&N, V&HPowershots   The administrator has disabled public write access. #85022 thebru (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 661 Re:O.K. , All you Mobil 1 users... 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I use Mobil 1 15-50 Synthetic. No friction modifiers and my bike runs great with it. Decent price at about $22.00 for 5 qts at Wal-Mart.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #85023 Midnight1700 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 100 Re:O.K. , All you Mobil 1 users... 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I did the 600 mile oil change on both the engine and transfer case. I will probably go with the synthetic on my next change. Is there a better transfer case oil than what is recommended by the factory also???   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #85031 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 13188 Re:O.K. , All you Mobil 1 users... 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Midnight1700 I changed to syn at around 700 miles. For the transfer case you want a GL4 75/90 gear oil. Or a GL5 that is backwards compatible to 4. I use Royal Purple Maxgear.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/05/13 16:35 By Musky.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #85041 backinthesaddle (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 67 Re:O.K. , All you Mobil 1 users... 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   for what it is worth...quite a few stores carry Amsoil in my area. I was in Fleet Farm and stumbled across it there. It was less than if you went online to order, because there is no shipping charge. I've also seen Amsoil in the local bike shops.

Oil that doesn't say it is energy conserving ..still may have friction modifiers in it Simply.. if it is JASO MA certified then it is what you should use ...if you dont see that certification then dont use it... whether it is dino oil or synthetic....how much clearer is that???? doesnt matter what brand...geeze and if you do use a synthetic 20w 50 it does qualify for use in the transfer case... I use Mobil 1 V-twin 20w-50 ...   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/05/13 18:32 By Pop Rivet.   2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access. #85118 olskool (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 73 Re:O.K. , All you Mobil 1 users... 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Midnight1700 wrote: My RS* is coming up on 2000 miles.

I used Yamalube last oil change. Now I can start the great filter debate again. I want to buy something different than the Yamaha oil filer...any suggestions ?   Logged     SLED ZEPPELIN   The administrator has disabled public write access. #85141 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2757 Re:O.K. , All you Mobil 1 users... 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   K&N   Logged     2009 Ultra Classic HD...2005 Silverado Road Star Listen to the Road Star   The administrator has disabled public write access.
