Engine oil. . .

[goff_d_p35]

if i am not mistaken, the thicker the oil the quieter the engine. but it will make it harder to start sometimes cause the oil may be too thick. I use Elf 10w-50 100% synthetic. I have had no problems with this oil. I did try Shell semi syn. and it started to burn the clutch. so i changed it back to the elf. it ran smooth after that.

So in my opinion, the elf is great for the Pampanga area.

any suggestions and opinions regardingto this matter??????

whats really the best oil we do use to our engine????

100% sinthetic...which brand???all brand is good but NOT THE SHELL...huhuhu

 

[mhon_57]

does heavier viscosity engine oil make the engine sounds louder than the thinner one?

comparison:

5w-40 vs 15w-50

anyone?

TRY THIS ONE.

You can try this oil. Its a mineral based oil. It meets Harley-Davidson specs so its very very much recommended for our beloved snipers. Costs PHP250.
a little bit expensive than yamaha lube but much better.

Is this available on any motor shop?! hehehe I'll just try to check this out here if its available here in CEBU... thanks unli...

Let you know once im done...

Although the Motul 3000 4T is fine for the T135, I would not use oil that only meet HD spec on our T135 due to several reasons. HD has different spec for the engine, the primary drive, and the transmission. Most HD spec engine oils are not JASO MA certified.

It states 4-stroke lubricant. Engine and gearbox protection. Meets Harley-Davidson® specifications. JASO MA performance, wet clutch anti slipping technology. Suitable for catalytic converters. Contain calcium sulfonate. May produce allergic reaction. Sorry for the pic because its a bit blurred.

[tibay-sniper]

okies. nice learning... by the way my bike is AC... would it matter?!

whats the difference between motul 3000 20W50 and 5100 10W40?

I am also using Motul 3000 20w50 Mineral Based Oil. By the way, since i think it's quite related to the topic. Do you always replace your oil filter in every oil change? And do you use the original yamaha oil filter or a replacement one (the cheaper one like 60php only)?

 

[goff_d_p]

you should only replace it with original, i have tried the cheaper filters that your talking about and i found particals and fiber in the oil after changing. that's why i say stick to org.

I replace my filter every other change. but when i am not changing it i flush it out with kerosene and let it dry before installing it.

Oh ok. I also use original yamaha oil filters but it's a little bit expensive if I always replace it with new ones every oil change since I change my oil every 500-700 in my odo.

 

[tibay-sniper]

do we need to?! my ODO is almost 10K and i haven't tried changing my oil filter. how much is the orig oil filter?!

Aw! I think we really need to. I guess it filters dirt from the oil that we use but I'm not quite sure of what I'm saying. Let's wait for an expert to explain it to us clearly. I think it costs around 300php.

 

[tibay-sniper]

WOW, same price with a good engine oil.. hehehe

experts please enlighten us with your knowledge regarding this one.

thanks,
