Questions about changing over to Amsoil

wolfman46 · 12-02-2013, 03:25 PM

I have a 2013 voyager 1700 and at some point will be changing over to synthetic and my question is those that are using Amsoil 10w-40, how do
you like it, do you really find a difference with engine noise, transmission and clutch operation also any notable difference with operating temperature? I usually make the switch to Mobil1 but am considering Amsoil, any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

I use amsoil 10w40 on all my bikes and am very happy w it. My engines and clutch are quiet and smooth. It's all I ever use anymore

I either use Amsoil or Mobil 1 4T, which ever is cheaper when it comes time to do an oil change, and I can tell no difference in the two, but any other brand of full synthetic, I can tell a difference.

I used ams oil for 35000 mi. Clutch started to feel sticky. Dealer said they changed formula. Switched to Kawasaki sin. seems to have solved the problem.

I tried Amsoil in the Voyager hoping it would make the shifting better. It worked on the Nomad but not on the Voyager so I went back to regular dino oil as it was cheaper.
