ridingred Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 You're right ridingred...I'm sorry I ever doubted you, where would we all be without your impeccable guidance? i wasn't aware that this thread had anything to do with wrong or right, far as i could tell this is a discussion about oil.

450Riot Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 It was about oil. I think this forum should be shut down on Mondays. Let's either continue the discussion about peoples opinions on oil or close the thread. Quote 2004 Honda Trx450Riot Kicker Dasa K&N Motul Kenda Pro Taper Motion Pro Streamline Blingstar
airmobile101 Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 My final comment about this. You wanna use Rotella, thats fine with me. Its not my quad. Like I said in a prior post, I like the Rotella Blue bottle, run the stuff in my KTM, but I'm sorry to say that the white bottle Rotella isn't to my liking. And Apparently my old YFZ450 didn't care for it either. Both times I ran it, metal shavings where caked in my filter. Ran Motul and Bel-Ray and had barely any shavings than what was expected. I truely believe Rotella makes a good product,but its intended use will have different effects on different bikes/quads regardless of brand or make. And you can have two 06+ Honda's or YFZ's and its highly possible one or the other just might not like it compared to its twin.

ridingred Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 does anybody else have any knowledge of rotella causing your motor to create metal shavings? This is the first i've heard and it's a little bit concerning since airmobile is so adamate that it's the oil and not something else. If rotella has caused metal shavings in 2 of your motors surely somebody else has had bad results as well? FWIW, i've been running rotella for 4 years, in my 2 yfz's, my 2 400ex's and now in my 450r and 400ex. I saw metal one time in one of my yfz's but it wasn't from the oil, it was because my crank was giong out.

grtrat1 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Posted May 8, 2012 I think this bickering that has nothing to do with what oil everyone is running should be deleted out and make it a PM between you two...I run Rotella in my bike and have 0 shavings on either side... It make work for some, but may not work for others...Drop it.... edit.... Nice looking quad airmobile101... Quote http://www.offtopic.forum/images/sig.png

450Riot Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Shell makes the best fuel IMO, but their oil... I just don't know about. Quote 2004 Honda Trx450Riot Kicker Dasa K&N Motul Kenda Pro Taper Motion Pro Streamline Blingstar
ghott Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Engine side = Amsoil MCF 10w-40 Tranny side = Honda HP 80/85w Trans Oil (red bottle) Oil filter = OEM Honda Have been maintaining two 04/05 bikes like this for 6 years now. A clean, oiled, and well maintained air filter helps as well.
