aftermath, i disagree...switch to amsoil for one oil change, and i guarantee you'll notice the difference, especially when shifting...a LOT smoother

can't speak for the other oils

QuakerState Fully Synthetic 10W30

I think I'll go with 10W40 next time and see how it does. Shouldn't make a difference though.

Yea Try AMSOIL......I felt a BIG difference in midrange-Top End shifting.  It feels like the gears want to change themselves very good oil.  I got 5 rides on my OIL and its still a light Gold....It feels like something is wrong with my motor cuz the oil isnt getting dirty..lol

They say that if you go with Synthetic you have to stay with it.....But not 100% sure.

UMMMMM........ :o
recommended for all "normal" riding situations. Normal riding situations are when the motorcycle or ATV is used as designed and is not "lugged" or run near redline for extended periods of time.

Sounds like that oil is not designed for high heat (aka high rpms or under load) for long periods of time. Meaning that the viscosity will break down and break down quicker than racing oil and will put wear on parts quicker. If you're gonna beat on it give it good "earl"  ;)  -Mark

I use castrol synthetic in my Yamaha but I ride a automatic CVT...It complies with the specifications in the book, forget paying 12$ a quart for yamalube.

I've got some left over high mileage Penzoil 10W-40 in the recon and rancher. And we've got Parts Master 10W-40 in the Arctic cat. Haven't noticed much difference between the Penzoil we had in the cat before and the cheap Parts Master oil.. Of course, it's not a manual.
