QS full synthetic on sale at CDN Tire
Morning all,
Noticed in CDN tire's flyer today, Quaker state full synthetic oil on sale. vaious grades. Looks like a good deal, if so, I might stock up for next season. (45% off, $21.99) Any recommendations which grade to pick up? http://www.quakerstate.ca/#/motor-oi...ate-durability Is there any reason to avoid QS and go with rotella? Thanks B.

Can't say! I tried full synthetic and my bike rattled and clanked. Went back to Semi synthetic - Golden Spectro 10W40 and bike seems to have quieten down and shifts way less clunky? After the use of the Synthectic ( Mobil 1) the bike started to tick in the top end and it has never gone away - just slightly quieter with the Semi Synthetic? Wish I had never put Mobil in!

I've been using the LUCAS Semi-syn motorcycle oil with JASCO rating lately.
(last 3 oil changes), seems to be just fine. Haven't noticed any strange noises and shifting is smooth & silky. $7.25 at AutoValue Parts Stores for 940ml.

I have never used QS synthetic in a bike, so I can't say. If it has energy conserving written in the api circle I would be cautious

QS full synthetic on sale at CDN Tire
Hi Folks,
Well I went today to pick up the quaker state (last day it was on sale), and it had the energy conservation written in the logo - so no good. Got home, ready to post and see that cnc had the same concern - good thinking. They also had rotella on sale for about $30, figure I'll pick some up in the spring. Too bad, at $20, that seemed a good deal for the QS. Cheers B

I have never used QS in anything. A mechanic gave me a bad report on it years ago. I have just avoided it. The Shell Rotella T6 is supposed to be a very good oil. Lot of guys use it in their bikes. I use the Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 full synthetic and have had no problems with it. It is higher priced than the Rotella.

I buy my Rotella T6 from American Walmart. (US$19.50 per jug). The oil change makes for a nice trip down south of the border.

Elvis, why is the Rotella $10 more in Canada? Just curious.
