I do too, but I like M1 15-50 better than other oils I tried so far; and the 18 bucks a quart packaging we can find at other places is depressing.

Yes, yes, but when the price is right, if they stock it, you will buy......
Welcome, WalMart Shoppers......

Not me. I've moved to Valvoline Racing synthetic. Screw Wally World and China.

Got my $50.00 rebate check in the mail last week from Valvoline, Jerry. Thanks for the tip, Kenny.

Has anyone been using the Liqui-Moly sold by Beemer Boneyard?

The difference between 90 and 100 degrees F is meaningless to your engine and its motor oil.

The only really significant thing to say is if you're truly concerned about heat you'll be using full synthetic oil.

And, if you really care about your engine you'll follow the extended oil change interval recommendations because the design of today's oils makes it actually bad for your engine to change oil at shorter intervals.

I base my OCI on what blackstone tells me, to a point. I've had some vehicles where the oil is in great shape (good TBN, plenty of additives left), but it's dirty, and thus it needs to go.

These days I run M1 15w-50 in just about everything, the beemer, the bimmer, the older jaguars, and the '50s ford tractor.

Moh, I haven't but I'm sure it's fine although their price for full synth is a bit high. Any quality synth 15w50 will do. Your bike has had only full synth so I'd stick with that.

I'm using Silkolene in Engine/Trans/Rear Diff since replacing the Bearings in my Transmission 7K Miles ago - very pleased so far.
