Send me an email [email protected] and tell me you want the Canada PC form.I would like to try Amsoil in my bike, but up here they sale the oil 18 to 20 bucks a liter crazy, so I use mobil 1 oil for year's very good oil and cheaper
Thanks budoka,That's Bob for you, even if someone is determined to use another product, he's there with the helpful advice, and the information to back it up. Not all distributors or dealers will do that. Thanks again Amsoil Dealer Group!
Not sure why anyone would use a 20W-50 in a Wing... The recommended oil viscosities are 10W-30 and 10W-40.I've used Mobile1 20W50 in GL1800 for years.
My owners manual, under other viscosities says I can use 20W50 from 35Degs to 100+. Since I live in Florida, and until this past May in South Fla. my bike has never seen anything near 35 degs, and many many days of 100+. I started out using Amsoil, but when the price got almost double Mobile1 I switched. I got 99,000 miles on this bike and I've got to believe I haven't done anything wrong. I am from the old school of higher viscocities in warmer weather. I believe this thing about lower weight oil started with the auto companies in order to get their mpg down, not worried about the long term effect of wear. Actually I just put in Amsoil 10W40 because I am planning on some cold weather on my yearly ride to the Smokies starting this weekend. I had to pay almost $12 a quart at Ace Hardware for Amsoil. I get Mobile1 from Wallyworld (WallMart) at about $7. I am a big fan of Amsoil, but can't justify the cost.Not sure why anyone would use a 20W-50 in a Wing...

There is no extra protection by using a higher viscosity oil and in fact causes issues such as loss of HP and loss of fuel Mileage.

The Viscosity recommendations in the manual are for Petroleum oil. M-1 Racing 4T is not available in all Wal-Mart Stores but, in most locals where I have seen it, it runs around $9.95 which is about the same as AMSOIL purchased through me. AMSOIL is even less if bought by the case (12 qts)...My owners manual, under other viscosities says I can use 20W50 from 35Degs to 100+.
