Thanks for the replies. I grabbed "some" of the castrol at advance auto which was 3 gallons for 15.00. I purchased enough for all of next season, which is about 10 months long, and a little for the season afer that. Im done paying 13.00-17.00/gallon for moto dino lube.
Total amount of oil I purchased was 21 gallons. Price was just over 111 dollars. Great deal for me as 111.00 dollars would have gotten me 8 gallons of yamalube at 13.00 per gallon. I'll take 21 vs 8 for my money.
I change the oil after every race(2 hour harescramble) or recreational ride which could be from 2-8 hours. This was very expensive every year, but not so bad now that Im making the switch to diesel. Bike takes 1.7 quarts of oil, and I ride or race at least once a week. Thats about 17 gallons of oil a year.
Previous money on oil per year, using an average cost of 15.00/gallon x 17=255
Now, 5/gallon x 17=85
Quite a savings if the oil holds up and I dont blow my newly rebuilt and overbored 250F. Its fully broken in with about 3 hours on the rebuild using Yamalube. I just dumped out the Yamalube and filled with Tection. Hope it works..........
