  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

FE/FC Can this Quicksilver 20w50 oil be used in a FE501S?

What a deal... $24 for 5 gal.
Where do I sign up. How much to ship me 20 gallons if I buy 4 containers. Lol

Just kidding.
 
There are lots of oil threads already, can-o-worms :rolleyes:
No need to spend $20/qt! Spectro, Hondaline, Yamalube are all decent oils for much less. Mobil1 or Rotella T6 are good synthetic oils too.

:cheers:

I have been using Mobil 1 10w-40 for years and no issues. Last bike I went into the motor looked like new. This is $24 for 5 gal here.

Are you sure about the Mobil 1 10w -40? Not saying you are wrong or shouldnt use it, but a lot of people are using Mobil 1 0w -40 eruopean car formula. Just checking to make sure you wrote down the right stuff. Once again dont mean to say in anyway you are wrong about what youare using.
 
But to the original post, have no idea if that oil will be goodd, but I been using what a lot of guys that put a lot more and a lot harder miles on their bikes than i do use and have no way of knowing (never had motor apart) if it is good or not but so far so good. Mobil 1-0W 40 European Car Formula. 25$ Walmart. Change it 3-6 hours depending on whether I raced or just been trail riding.

10w 40 doesn't harm anything. You can use 0wt. but will break down quicker exspecally if you abuse the clutch. I wouldn't use if you ride in 90*f+ weather.
 
Don't know about the Quicksilver or 10-40 Mob1, but the 0-40 Mob1 has been excellent in my 300 with Rekluse.
In the 165 I'm using Rotella T6 which is also excellent so far. Both the above are on sale at Walmart or auto parts places regularly for @ $25us.
:cheers:
 
I run the Mobil 1 0w 40 in the hot 100*+ F. Arizona weather and have since my '15 FE501 had it's first 1 hour oil change when it was new. 160+ hours now, with no problems.

I have been running a Rekluse Clutch that takes plenty of abuse for the past 60 hours.

Valve clearance was just checked at 150 hours and is fine.
