What is the best motorcycle OILS ???
What is preferred oil for older bikes ie. 1978 Suzuki GS1000. Was told that synthetic oils even Amsoil are bad for clutches and I should stick to regular oil? I like good synthetic oil but don't want to damage bike or clutch. Or should I just use whatever I like?Tags: None

Great info, I live in Canada and have a Canadian tire very close to me.
I would never have thought to use that oil as it is in the diesel section of oils.
It is cheaper then Mobile 1 or Amsoil.
Thanks.

Not all synthetic oils will harm the clutch. Avoid car oils with friction modifiers. Can't go wrong with rotella.Mobil1 makes a motorcycle specific oil altho very expensive, golden Spetro is a more moderately priced motorcycle specific oil available in both synthetic and mineral.Last edited by akckhim; 02-21-2016, 11:00 AM.sigpic1982 gs750e 1186 oil cooled engine USD front mono shock rear
