o, next time i have to look at those shopping mall to get good deals like u.

Some details of the royal purple:

Royal Purple’s API-licensed Synthetic Motor Oil combines premium base oils with proprietary additive technologies to create high performance motor oils that optimize engine performance. Royal Purple’s API-licensed motor oil delivers superior protection and improves performance in gasoline and diesel engines. Royal Purple’s API-licensed SN motor oil meets ILSAC GF-5 and Dexos1 performance requirements.

No special procedures are necessary when upgrading to Royal Purple. Royal Purple recommends waiting until the manufacturer’s first scheduled oil change in new gasoline and diesel engines before upgrading to Royal Purple.

Royal Purple motor oil is compatible with synthetic and conventional motor oils.

Performance Advantages:
Better wear protection--Enhanced additive technology prevents metal-to-metal contact beyond both Dexos1 and ILSAC GF-5 specs.
Increased fuel efficiency--A low coefficient of friction results in optimized fuel efficiency (the fuel economy of Royal Purple's 5W-30 meets the fuel economy requirements of a 5W-20 oil).
Better protection of the expensive catalytic emission system--Patented ZDDP additives optimize emissions catalyst system life.
Improved compatibility with fuels containing ethanol--Patented additive technology prevents the white sludge and lubrication starvation that can occur with 20% or higher ethanol fuel.
Superior corrosion protection--No rust observed in standard industry testing.

the seller claimed that the oil can go up to 5000km

One of the RP user review(this guys use the oil up to 7600km), crazy:

i better stick back to silkolene

EO can last very long. Service interval of 3000km is sometimes too conservative. Need to remember, motorbike, oil, gas, metal etc is one big industry to make sure we spend money. We spend too much on oil for such a small bike.

1 liter EO, RM20~40. Car EO, 4 liter, RM60~90. Change interval, same.
1 tire, RM120. Car tire, same price each... what's wrong here?

Everything on bike also much more expensive compared to service a car, relatively to engine cc and size...

I just think we all should be wise consumer even when we use bike, and thinking that we save on petrol alone.

ya, totally agree with u. actually i'm not so agree with those who change their EO in 1000km or 1500km unless the oil is not good. If the EO is good enough, we dont have to change that frequent. Besides, frequent changing EO will harm the natural environment(i read from somewhere).

Ya, the oil and tyre for our bikes is almost equal/more expensive compare to car especially the tyre. The car tyre Goodyear 185/xx/14 for my iswara goes for rm155 only, i guess my rear tyre Maxxis 110/70/17 is not cheap tho.

Use long not issue, just need check EO after about 4k bcos the EO might dissappear...then need top up....

Base on experience if use Fully syn 10/50 or 5/40 on piston ring longgar the EO still can last till 4k...4k is about the oil to break down

Vibration might come from bad chain condition or dry chain....

i order 1box come with 12/24, price 48 / 34

o, may b if i use same eo with u, then we can share share? then u dont have to take out a bunch of $ in order to get a cheaper price.

haha, i put in motorcycle shop sell.

12 - RM48 each, 24 - RM34 each, so much difference?

RP is API-SL to API-SN certified.

LC use flat tappet... again, please stick to API-SG.
EO with API rating greater than SG will burn through your flat tappets and cam lobes.

On 4T bikes, the problems is most likely to come from engine head when the wrong EO is used.
Shifting gear is just a mild to near useless way to judge an EO quality.

Reads:
Flat Tappet on race engines
RP catalog

if i couldn't find a silkolene, can u sell me one? hehe

yaya, that's y i meantioned i'll stick to silkolene coz it's SF/SG thanks for the confirmation again.

he wont sell u 1 he will sell 1 box only

For trades request, maybe this is not the best place. Some LYN policy violation or something. Just PM the fella and see if he is nice enough to sell you a few bottles at bulk price.

oh oh..thanks for remind. paiseh ya.

but the price difference is really huge between 12 and 24 bottles like u said.

dear all bros, i need your opinions on eo/bike:
1) let's say after i changed my eo, and i found that the gear shifting is not good after i've run around 100km(or may b less than that). Is it too early to judge the eo not fits my bike?
2) or is it i have to run few hundred km 1st so that my engine is used to the eo only then i make a judgement?
3) or is it i will know whether the eo fits my bike or not after may be 50-100km(or may b less than that)?

thanks in advance.

Once you put in, and gear changing not smooth, that's it, it won't get any better.
