Just as a heads up I've been quoted thischeap price on sweet AMSOIL: . For a case of 12 quarts of mcf 10w40 it runs 102.74 shipped plus local taxes
let me know if anyone cares for the reps contact info:

Hi Steve, for a gallon of MCF 10w40(which is what I think you are looking for) it is 40.50 shipped plus local taxes. Most people on the forum buy cases of Quarts which run a little cheaper than gallons. Also after a case or more there is a freight discount through Amsoil, thats why a single gallon may seem a little steep, for 4 gallons it is 134.64 shipped plus local taxes. For a case of 12 quarts of mcf 10w40 it runs 102.74 shipped plus local taxes. Let me know if you have any more questions....ride safe----Rex

I might go ahead and try rotella t on both car and bike, used amsoil synth 10w-40 on the car and viscosity dropped before 5k miles, as my pressure gauge indicates rapid changes in pressure in hard braking and fast curves, so far it looks and performs fine on the bike.

I changed the oil in the ZX yesterday, and boy that was fucking easy. I had to use a pair of big water pump pliers on the oil filter, due to me not having a oil filter wrench small enough for it. I will pick one up today to tighten it though. I used the KAWASAKI 10W-40 in it, anybody use this, and any thoughts??
I heard not to use fully snythetic in the ZX if you are gonna drag race, due to slipping the clutches. Any thoughts?????

yes by all means DON'T run full Syn oil or your clutches will slip like they did on my zx14.. The clutches slipped so bad i could only run 8.70s @ 154 !!! Just think if i had run some crappy oil i could have run 7s !!!

Hell , all I use is dino oil , but if someone wants me to see if they got good oil, give it up !
I bet free Fully Synthetic Amzoil would be great in this Texas heat ! Especially Free oil !!!
