    A question for Timken (or anyone). After some research I just started using this oil in my boat (Yamaha R1 engiens). How is it proving out for use in 4T dirtbikes? Considering a 2015 FE350 to add to my stable. Thanks. Cam.

    I have run nothing but that for a while, zero issues. Works great. I use the off the shelf european car formula s it does not have friction modifiers that are bad for the clutch.

    I've been using m1 0w40 euro in my 310 for about 2000kms. All good

    Hey Motosportz, are you also using it in your 2 stroke gearboxes?

    You think so the YZ only holds 73cc with filter change?

    We use it in both our 4t and 2t gear boxes. We ran Vegas 2 Reno, 531 miles wide open with it, placed #2 over all. It works and is dirt cheap.

    Imma thinking I might switch to it in my honey's SV 650S. It calls for 10W-40 too and is ready for a change soon. Loving it in my TE449. It quieted the clutch in the Husky and the Suzy's clutch is kinda loud too.

    Well then YZ is ready for oil change so I guess I'm gonna give Mobil a go. Owners manual says yamalube of course, 10-40 for my climate. My zx 10 sure loves it as well as both huskys. This whole oil science thing just makes me nervous sometimes. When I tell my buddy's they can't believe I run a car oil in my bikes...

    Tell them your buddy Kelly has been doing in for 35 years on hundreds of bikes and has had very few issues ever. No trans, no clutches, valves last, motors look new inside...

    The rotella has been my mainstay for bikes for years but for some reason the boat engines didn't like it, just didn't feel smooth. Quite the opposite with the 0W40 euro Mobil 1. Very nice. Funny, but other than 2T oil I have never used bike oil in my bikes. Cam.

    Just think of all the extra parts you can buy since it's $25 for a gallon vs. $10+ a qt.

    5 quart jugs are nice. We have an oil in stock that's $22.00 a quart. It's just ridiculous.
