Hi folks,
I'm new to this forum, so please bear with me. I'm interested in opinions on the Castrol Act-Evo bike oil.As far as I know my 99 Roadstar has had the 20w 50 in it since new. 32,000 miles. I started out using the 10w 40 in my 2003 Goldwing. I decided to try Rotella T 5w 40 in the wing and ran it for about 3000 miles with no noticable difference in shifting or anything else. I changed when my dealer "suggested" I may have a issue with Honda if I had any clutch or engine problems. They were polite and not argumentive and so just to keep the peace, I went back to the Castrol. The cost difference between the two oils is so little that it is not an issue. What concerns me is that on this forum I can't seem to find any info on the Castrol bike oils, good or bad. So what's the word? Is this oil good , better, best or not any good at all. My dealer has been using, selling and recommending Castrol for years.I do trust their opinion but I did notice one member on this forum who had been using Castrol since the 60's and decided to change because of something he had recently discovered.Any and all opinions welcome.
