Motorcycle vs. Auto Oil
I just looked at this thread to see what everyone else was running in their T3s as I'm due for an oil change and wanted to see what I could get at the Zone or Wally World. I hate paying dealer prices. Greaser is right. I asked this question at the dealers about 30 years ago and was told that motorcycle oils have "shear additives" in them for the gearbox and automotive oils don't. Of course this was in the day when the only synthetic readily available was Spectro. Does anyone use or have heard of anyone using Amsoil? I'm a big fan of their other products and run some form of it in practically everything I own (boats gearcase oil, sleds chaincase and injector oils, automatic tranny fluid, etc) I'll go with the Mobil for now but would appreciate any feedback on this matter. Thanks, Bill Remember now, shiny side up!
