I just bought 8 liter from a dealer sell out sale for $2.00 a liter the orginal price tag was $16.00 a litre. My only concern is it say superbike motor oil on bottle and the 5w-60 seems odd. But at $2.00 a liter I will put it in my Lawn mower or light plant if nothing else. I was running Yamahalube synthetic 15-50 at $15.00 a litre and changing every 2-3 hours track use and oil was comming out black, little tc250 motor seems to be hard on oil. The same dealer was selling replacment lenses for google at $1.00 and some where tented. Hope I got great deal on oil that I can use in my 2010 TC250.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Sounds a little interesting ...
5 to 60WT is quite a stretch ... Over 10x the weight of the oil from the 5WT winter weight ... Most web sites say an oil that carries this wide a viscosity range, breaks down easily and drops its operating WT down from the top side quickly .... With that said, true synthetic oil do not break down as quickly as dino oils because they need less additives for the multi-grades stretch ...
Not sure if this oil is a true man-made oil (PAO or ester) or just a dino oil with the hyped 'synthetic' name applied ... Not sure on the superbike words either ...
Not sure on why anyone, except someone in the brutally cold area, would want a 5WT oil ...
I'd never buy (at regular price) and use an oil like this in my bike unless it was PAO or Ester based and even then, I'd change it more quickly than a 15W-50 or what ever ... If it is PAO or ester based, you could mix it with that yamalube and help cut the cost and be sure you have more acceptable WT oil backing up this ~thin stuff ...
He's giving it away because he cannot sell it .. That I'm pretty sure of ... This does not mean it is a bad oil ... He just can't sell it ... Same with those lenses ... I could about a dozen of those if not too dark ...
Also, the real condition of your used oil is un-known till it is sent off and analyzed ... I go by color also to some degree but it is not a true indicator in many cases other than to show the oil is not new ...

I did find this on their web site from their supplied MSDS sheet .... All products should have a MSDS sheet because it supplies hazardous, safety and first-aid concerns ... It has to be somewhat true data for these reasons ... For some reason I never can find an amsoil MSDS sheet ... maybe someone can point me to one ...
The 5w-40 is GRP V (ester) based or a blend, not sure on the reading ... but no info on a 5W-60 .. maybe it is discontinued? ...The 5W-60 was probably the same stuff (Ester based) or a blend ...

Thanks for all the work but oil is old stock I think. The new Bel-Ray exs is called ester synthetic so the sheet you found must be the newest stuff. I just want to know if this stuff would be safe to run for 2-3 hours in my bike or anybody have any hands on use of oil. It not worth running cheap oil if it hurts motor. Thanks again for looking into it for me Ray.

Yep and I'd mix it maybe ... 40% of this stuff ... 60% of your other stuff ... run the bike and check the filter ... If you see no difference, should be OK ... I'd doubt this oil mixed could break down before you change it as you are changing oil so quickly ... maybe someone else has an idea?
I use 1L full SYN and ~.6L blend stuff mixed to keep cost down ... So I'm a blender oil guy ...
