Bought a new 2011 Kawasaki Concours 14 ABS and a new 2011 Honda Silver Wing for the Mrs. Have put 2700 Miles on the Concours in 1.5 months. Have changed oil twice using Kawasaki 10w40. Considering alternatives so I have bought Amsoils oil in both 20w50 and 10w40 and Rotella 15w40 and Amsoil 10w30 for the silver wing currently at 400 miles. I'm considering 15w40 in the Honda as well. I'd use he 20w50 through the heat of summer then back to the 40 weights. I read notchy shifting complaints the other day where someone imPlied the Rotella stands up better to shear than amsoil with a statement comparing the notchinNess to Rotella at 3000 miles to Amsoil at 1000 miles.
Any validity to this? Any suggestions?
The Honda is a CVT style automatic. Any input or advice on it would also be greatly appreciated
