    Dye in oil

    I was running the white bottle of Dino Rotella 15-40. I was changing it about every 20 hours. Maybe I need to go back to that. It is for a quad that is used on the sand dunes. Paddles put a pretty good load on the engine.

    Are you aware of any motorcycle oil that contains a tint / dye which would allow easier viewing when checking oil level on the dipstick.

    BG synthetic HDEO

    I tried using the search engine with no luck. Perhaps BG isn't a long enough character string? Anyhow, my diesel mechanic is recommending BG full synthetic motor oil with extended drain intervals. Any reports out there on this product?

    New ATVs in the stable. Recommendations

    I have been using Mobil 1 15w50 automotive oil in the V-Twin but I had wondered if I was pushing it with the change interval. The fact that the coolant and oil temps naturally run hot I thought I may be breaking the oil down. I also wondered about the additive package for such an aggressive cam...
