I've been using Rotella T6 which is a different grade than my owners manual recommends (5w40 vs 10w40) AND it's a car oil, and my bike still runs fine after over 50,000 miles.

Its not a car oil. Its a heavy duty diesel oil without the friction modifiers that are typical for car oils. That's why it's suitable for wet clutches in motorcycles. It's also JASO MA certified so it can be officially used in motorcycle engines. 5W vs 10W is only important for very cold starts. The more important number is 40 once the oil is at operating temperature. That covers an ambient temperature range of 0-100 F. Minor variations in the numbers only affect the fringes of this range. I'm sure you know that, this is just for the record if anyone thinks of using regular car oil.

Hi. I bought a brand new motorcycle and from new, gear changes were rough and it had vibrations. After the first service, the bike felt a lot worse, and engine was over heating sporadically. At 1400klm I realised when the dealer said that it was normal and I had taken the bike back 6 times, that the dealer was filling the oil to below the empty level. When I toped up the oil, it took 750ml to get it to the full line. That's 1/3rd oil missing since new. Can you please tell me, during this crucial run in period, what is the potential damage to the engine and gear box? I think during the crucial 1000klm run in period not having enough oil to meet even the bottom line of the low indicator mark would have caused damage, but dealer said no, it's o.k.

Another-consideration is that thick-oil flows-slower and is slower to remove-heat from metal-surfaces . Heat kills engines along-with 'Starts' (when the most-wear occurs , so Don't rev it) . Thicker-oil arguably breaks-down-faster also , as it heats-more due to its slow-flow-rate . Circle-track racing in The States , shows V8-engines run on high-quality 5-30 , last for more 'Seasons' before requiring re-building , than those run-on heavier-weight-oils . Mineral-oil is pretty-much dead , a little-over 1000miles in a motor-cycle , synthetic lasts much-longer due to its heat-resistant-properties . Many motorcycle-racers will change the oil after every Meeting . At the end of Summer , I drain my bike, fill with mineral-oil and drain/replace after one-ride , the-following-Season, otherwise my first oil-change is contaminated with whatever acidic-residue and other-contaminants , laying on/in any cavity or surface (it's cheap and gives me peace-of-mind) .

As far as I know this was developed to get a few percentage points more power on the race track where engines run at maximum RPMs with high engine temperatures for extended periods of time, but also have a very short oil change interval (a few hundred miles). For a regular rider this is not a suitable oil for those reasons. And since these oils are very expensive, I suspect the buyers will be tempted to extend the oil change interval, which is exactly the opposite they should do. Get the cheapest oil that has the specification your manual requires (usually JASO MA), that's it. Fully synthetic if you like to shift smoother and if you don't ride much (doesn't degrade over time as quickly as conventional, so yearly oil change is unnecessary, and mile range can 20-30% extended). However, oil consumption might be a bit higher with a fully synthetic oil if your engine is used to conventional oil, due to its molecules being all uniform and able to enter the combustion chamber easier than the "dirtier" conventional oil.

idk I'm poor so I've been running car oil. of course, it wasn't without issues, car oil comes with a lot of friction modifiers so it is easier on metal components but also makes the clutch slip. so I put washers under the clutch springs and got the function back. seems to work fine. the engine is not blown after 58,000 miles. and I'm on the same OEM clutch pack from 1999. and well I'm in a better place finally now but I don't think I'm going to switch back. I think the reason why most bikes have serious engine problems after 40k miles is due to motorcycle oil just being harder on components. I'm sure your specific bike is fine but that's just my theory. use whatever oil you think is best.

Even ducati with their dry clutches use ma2 rating motorcycle oil.

Air-cooled Porsche / VW guys discovered, years ago, that synthetic oil causes their engines to run hotter than conventional oil. I asked a petroleum engineer at my University why, and the explanation made perfect sense. Synthetic oils are designed and engineered to RESIST heat, not to absorb it. Conventional oil works better as a coolant because it absorbs the heat and carries it away, rather than resisting it and leaving it. I've tested this on my oil-head BMW, and it's 100% true. I change my oil once a season, I run conventional oil, and my bike never overheats, even in city traffic. I had the engine in a Harley Dyna seize up on me while I was riding it. When the dealership tore it down, their explanation was that the H-D brand synthetic oil, that I had recently switched to, caused the air-cooled engine to overheat and the rings welded to the cylinders. Good times.

regarding the numbers and this should have been talked about the first number is the Winter grading. so a 0W will remain thin and usable at -35 degrees a 5W -30 10W -25 15W -20 degrees that is the temperature they will remain a liquid and can be pumped around an engine then the 2nd number is the oils viscosity at operating temperature. usually tested at 100 degree celsius so a -W/50 will have a certain thickness/thinness (viscosity) at 100degrees. quite a horrible video in terms of information

The problem usually arises when you go from conventional to synthetic on a higher mile engine. the reason most people experience a leak in this situation usually can be attributed to the detergents present in oil, an older and higher mileage engine has certain tolerances and build up that is fine but when you put an oil with more detergent and it cleans the build up out you can see the engine leak oil now that the buildup isn't plugging that gap.

Just change it, when oil becomes contaminated ( usually around 2,000 to 4,000 miles) time to change it. This is not set in stone, use your own discretion.

So the answer is “see owners manual”

Nope. Sorry, I'm sure the presenter is a very nice guy, but he represents a company that does business with the industry, and is therefore limited in how completely open he can be. I'm talking about the issue of Rotella T6 (which is mentioned previously in this thread). A fully synthetic oil, with the JASO MA spec (Japanese organization equivalent to our SAE, MA means ok for wet clutches in that it lacks the friction modifiers included in most modern car oils in order to increase gas mileage). The problem for the motorcycle specialty oil industry is that Rotella is available at Walmart for 20 something $/gallon while specialty motorcycle oils can be $13+/quart, and sometimes not even fully synthetic. Reminds me of the situation many years ago when Dexter Ford (a long time contributor to Motorcyclist Magazine) did a massive and brilliant helmet test published in the New York Times , wherein he found that the safest helmet was a relatively cheap polycarbonate one (the Z1). He further determined that the reason for this is that the Snell Foundation had established test pass certification criteria that were significantly elevated over the real world needs, which resulted in the "best" (more expensive) helmets being overly heavy and stiff (meaning they passed unnecessarily high forces to the helmet wearer's brain during most real world crash events). The result of this brilliant publishing effort? The helmet manufacturer advertisers were outraged and Motorcyclist Magazine published a damage control apology letter and Dexter was fired. However, though the Snell Foundation was in full denial mode, they did in fact lower their requirements in subsequent certification issuances (so lives have been saved). The moral: a company dependent upon supplier and advertiser good will may be unable to publish "the whole truth, and nothing but the truth". This is not them being evil, it's just the way of the world. [and why one should be skeptical about everything, and always try to figure out any underlying factors or constraints relative to ideas presented as "facts"]. YMMV
