Quicksilver Motorcycle Oil?

P2breaker · 02-12-2019, 11:45 PM

I bought a one gallon jug of Quicksilver full synthetic 20w50 Motorcycle Oil from Walmart to put in my Yamaha v star 1100 whenever I get a chance. It cost 21 bucks. Online I can get a gallon jug in 10w40 full synthetic for the Vaquero and it costs 30 bucks. It has the JASO MA and MA2 rating. Has anyone used it. If so, what did you think of it.

Been using it for 5 years now..works great..... Quicksilver is owned by Mercury Marine.

I tried it on my 2012 Nomad and I did not like it as much as Mobile 1. It seemed to cause clunkier shifting and more engine noise. I use Rotella T6 in the winter months (I am a year round rider) and Mobile 1 in the summer. Some people love it but I prefer the others.

I run Mobil 1 in the Vaquero....the full synth 20/50 V-twin formula and it is great and good with the clutch too. Sticking with it.

I have to admit that I felt my bike ran best with Mobil 1 4t. But I haven’t tried AMSOIL yet. For 2 years I ran castrol v twin 10w40 in my Vaquero and it was very good but Mobil was a little better. I am going to see how the Quicksilver plays in my v star 1100. That should be pretty telling.

To Some people it makes a difference and then to some it does not. Just for the sake of sharing information, Mobil V-twin Motor oil is not JASO certified. But then again neither is Rotella T6 . Plus Shell specifically will not warranty their oil for any other use than diesels.
