On the Putoline engine oil wagon

[ray_ray]

As stated before, it's not always easy to find what you want to purchase here ..

Today, after not finding any Castrol Power1 engine oil, I found this Putoline oil ... Sounds good on the bottle and the price is OK($10.50 per L) also. I hope this oil works out for my bikes...

I know nothing about that oil, but if the label is correct it does say Jasco MA2 which as far as I know is a good thing.

I know oil threads are about as lame as it gets , But I just switched over to Mobil1 0-40 (after reading Tinkens oil posts) in my RXV and my bike actually runs better. I alway ran Castrol 10-50 as the recommended oil was Agip 10-60 which was impossible to find.

Nothing wrong with Putoline, it's Dutch and here we use it quite a lot, excellent stuff.

Putoline? What is that, steamed rice cake oil? Do you wrap the bottle in a banana leaf?

Putoline is a good oil, and is well know in europe. I also use putoline premix trials oil in my scorpa trials bike cause it smells of strawberrys.

Thats what I was wanting to hear ... ... I saw a couple other threads out here where a few guys were running it with no issues ... Its just that in the states, I've never saw it and over here, you never know what you might be getting ..

Don't you have 5 bikes? I'd be such a bum with maintenance. I'd ride each one until it needed maintenance and then swap, of course only screwing myself when all 5 were due lol

These machines are an investment also so I'm incline to keep them up as much as possible ... Its seems the 4 that I have access to now sort of get ridden on specific type rides ... Some ridden more than others ...Maintenance is really only oil changes with chains and sprockets to be careful with ... Tires are the biggest issue but I swap the 18" rims and hub (not the sprocket) on the bike I'm riding usually because the 19" tires on the TC models cost about twice as much here ... Can't really say that I can tell the difference with riding between an 18 or 19 inch rim ...

Snow 4T+ 0w/40 is a 100% synthetic 4-stroke snowmobile competition engine oil specially designed for use with or without a turbo, catalytic converter and / or multivalves. It guarantees rapid and stable lubrication even at extremely low temperatures. Due to superior thermal stability under most severe conditions, the oil maintains its quality under high engine temperatures. Snow 4T+ provides excellent anti-wear, extreme pressure and anti-corrosion properties as well as a high viscosity-index for a clean engine. It provides extra protection for the catalytic converter due to a low phosphorus content.

Low phosphorous = low ZDDP. I'd rather protect bearings, cylinders, pistons, and rings than catalytic converters.
