Synthetic is OK for A50.
For A125 (much more power) it has to be special polymer blend used in Formula 1. Only that kind can withstand extreme conditions inside GY6 engine.

AND you need special additives that are used in MotoGP.. it's not JUST the F1 fuel.

lol what the hell is that!

isn't this thread good enough? :(

does 120 days mean its gonna explode when i hit  "Post"?

ha! kaboom :)

i loves me a good oil thread and this is just as good as any. i even voted :)

i use mineral oil...Shell Rotella T 15w40. i use it because good 'ol boys all over the internets say "oh hell yeahs i pour somes in my truck, my Harleys, the tractor, the Camero and the little lady's scooter and they just keep on going!"

its all purpose stuff, has a bunch of good additives and detergents in it and what not. i had gone to synthetic but meh. got a gallon of Rotella T on sale for $12 and never looked back. scoot seems to like it fine at over 9,000m

HI GUYS!!!
I always break in with standard motor oil (more friction). Anything on the shelf is fine... After 500 miles I do two changes back to back (50 miles apart), and swap to Castrol full synth. The reason for me is... The Synth. won't burn or form sludge in the cases. If the oil does change color I find the reason.
PLUS... I feel bad putting all those innocent Dinosaurs in my hot tiny engine. I hear them scream.

Rotella is not available in our place but Shell Rimula is. Are the two the same? By the way, I use Delo Gold 15w/40 in my super 8 125.

Amsoil is a small company with only blending facilities, they don't have refineries to produce synthetic base stock oils.. Who do they buy these Polyalphaolefin  base stock oils from???
 
Their major supplier of Polyalphaolefin  base stock is Exxon/Mobil, the largest producer of synthetic oils in the world. They purchase some Group III base stocks from Shell, Petro Canada, and others. About 90% of their additive packages come from Lubrizoil.
