RXX Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I change my oil once a year, no matter what the mileage. Manual says 8k, dino oil. I use synthetic so I really don't worry about it. I will rarely put 10K a year on it anymore. I buy synthetic motor oil, whatever Cycle Gear has at the time, in whatever weight. My question is, I have several quarts of Motul synthetic in various weight combinations. Any reason I can't use them all the next change around? This is not a troll, just wondering. I figure it won't hurt, but I know squat about lubrication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 No reason not to, given the parameters of your requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Just watch the weight combo, but I don't see any issue with it. You'll get a die hard nut comment, but I don't think we have anyone unhinged on our board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXBirdSlapper Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I use 80-90 wt Hypoid, with some Seafoam added. No problems to report yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have heard that combo is real popular with the dickhead crowd. It is also a good replacement for cosmolene for when those barrels of weapons buried in your backyard start drying out due to the evaporation.
