undr_psi Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Any one ever run this stuff? I came across a bunch of it today and didnt know if it was worth a damn or if i should just sell it cheap on CL or somthing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fast5gp Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I would just sell cheap, with shell rotella T4 @ 18 dollars a gallon, I don't see the point of running conventional dino oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 If I couldn't find Mobil1, Valvoline would probably be my second choice.JASO:MA2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildit Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Is it 10w-40 non synth? If so I've run it in the KLR and DL1000 with no issues. I used to get it at Meijers for $3.50 a quart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbgt89 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I use it alot in my bikes. No sense putting in expensive oil when it just leaks out on the ground anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerik Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I've used it in my Shadow and my GS750 (admittedly, low-revving, low-performance bikes) with no issues. Not bad for being so cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottie.harris Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Ran it in my katana no problems, but I also change it every 2k miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I believe 20/50 is what the air cooled rattle machines run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 I use the 10w40 in the 250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorifto240 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I've had no problems with it in my Ninja 750. It doesn't seem to break down that quickly, and I'm not noticing any new leaks anywhere on the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit12 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Valvoline 20-50 is what went in my KZ's when I ran out of Kendall. I have actually ran it in a lot of bikes back in the day because there was a bunch of guys that brought me their bikes for oil changes and tires.

Wicked1 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I use it. If you don't want it- I'm sure you can unload it pretty easy!I have to laugh at guys who go out and spend 12 bucks for a bottle of syn. when a $3 bottle will do just fine.
