Good Morning,
I have a 2001 Honda Valkyrie, 6 cyl, I just sent off today M1 5w/40 truck and suv to Blackstone. The oil was in for 3 1/2 months, about 1300 miles. It was a good shifting oil, I hope the test produces good results. My understanding is that the Truck & SUV has been discontinued so if it tests well I will have to find the Delvac 1.
I filled it with Delvac 1300 super 15/40, the cost of the oil was $8.00 for a gallon, plus my filter of $7.50 Honda OEM, it was nice to change the oil for $16.00 --- instead of $50. I hope the results will be there. So far the shifting seems consistent with the full syn.
I am going to test the 1300 for about 1000 miles -then it will be filled with M1 10w/40 motorcycle stuff and that also will be tested. I will then have tested the following:
Amsoil, syn motorcycle 10/40
M1 syn, Truck & Suv 5/40
Delvac 1300 Super 15/40
M1 10/40 syn motorcycle
And, to the victor the spoils - which ever produced the best results gets to stay in. I will be factoring results + costs.
Hope to have results from Blackstone this week to post.
