Well, motorcycle oil DOES have some differences mainly focusing on the fact that motorcycles use a wet clutch so some brands of motorcycle oil put in clutch additives from what Ive been told. Tell you the truth, I always just ran valvoline 10w-30 in EVERY bike I've ever owned including my MX bikes. I have yet to put a clutch in my CR250 when I had it and raced it for 2 years when I knew people who went through a clutch in a year. I was not easy on my clutches either.

Kawie dead serious, I use the sythetic in my bikes and dyno in my car and truck both turbos and the truck is diesel. I use the 5-40 for the synth, and I think its 20-50 for the dyno. Im not positive on the dyno has I dont have any around right now. The dyno is white jug and the synth is blue.

Have you ever seen the inside of a frame filter. If thats what your buying I would just put one on and never change it!
