Synthetic oil does make the motor sound louder compared to dino oil but the additional protection is worth the additional sound.

 

in autos as well ????

 

based on all info I have heard it should've quitened it down if anything , can't imagine a quality oil causing more ruckus ...........hmmmm

 

I run Series 2000 in my Ford Focus & change the oil/filter once a year & it runs like a champ. I ran it in my RR and never had a problem & it's been in my 636 since day 2 and still no problems. Ran it in my 03 Mach 1 also, for over 2 years & again, same result. It's also the only oil we use at my shop for all the cars we do, unless we use a non-synthetic.

 

mobil one synthetic for bikes in my 636 , and mobil 1 synthetic for cars in my cars. i always use stock oil filters. mobil 1 already proved its self. has anyone seen the new Q comercial. quakerstate , and ferrari uses it in there cars!!!! thats pretty crazy, that **** should cost a pretty penny. i know its like 5 grand for an oil change in a ferrari enzo, i know that **** is not no **** quaker state.

 

Not to rehash but some of the keys to good oil is it ability to not loose viscosity, sheer strength and protection at high temps.

Engine sound is not one of them.

 

i run the Max-Cycle with a K&N filter. i like them both alot, but it only drops the temp 10 degrees.

 

understood and I agree.................... but if I put oil insomething and it makes the engine noisier I am taking it back out . The components should mesh smoother which to me = less engine noise . AMSOIL IN ........AMSOIL OUT .

 

The viscosity rating will affect engine noise. 5W30 will be much noisier that 20W50. Most bikes are 10W40 recommended oil but I guess you can run 20W50 in really hot climates.

 

Hey speed whats up ? back home from vacation ? I am running 10w40 .............it's been hotter n a four balled tomcat here for the past5-6 weeks plus it has been very humid as well , maybe that had something to do with it .We've been gettin 95-98 F, actually hit 100 F a time ortwo,this summer a bit hotter than usual .
