Razor blades... Think about it.

I have used every Motul, Shell and Castrol products on my Agility. I'd say Motul is the best but doesn't worth the extra cost. Shell and Castrol are somewhat same. Use fully synthetic oil of whatever brand you like. They are all same imo. You change oil every 2000km anyway. That's why expensive stuff doesn't worth it. I currently use Castrol 10-50w fully synthetic.

I agree that Synth is Synth... more or less.

they also use hydrocracked dino oil and say it "synthetic"...

Guys, Rotella synthetic only comes in 5w-40.

Would you go with 5w-40 synthetic or the 15w-40 conventional?

The 5w-40 should be fine since the scoot won't be driven in 0f weather, right?

So what's the story with JASO? How important is MB vs MA?

[Vision]

From what I read, since the 125 doesn't have a wet clutch it doesn't matter what JASO type oil you use.

Correct!

Jaso mb is more "slippery"....

I used Castrol Syntec for as long as it was available but now use Castrol RS 4t. Full synthetic. I have NEVER lost an engine due to oil related problems, and use nothing but full synthetic products.

I use Castrol Edge w/ syntec power technology, full synthetic 10w40. You think thats a good oil?

Heard amsoil 4t full syn scooter oil the best? Soon as im done with the 2 quarts of castrol edge 10w40 full syn, im going to go to a home dealer and buy the amsoil. (a50 owner btw)

Agreed they are all good. Agreed??
