    mobil 5w40 gone again?

    did a search, nada. noticed my local evil empire no longer carries or has a shelf space for truck and suv labeled mobil 5w40. use it in all my vehicles(cars, trucks, bikes) and do not look forward to paying $6-$7 qt at my local auto retail

    What oil for an '05 Kawasaki ZX-12R?

    I was using rotella 5w40 in my bike and it was fine for the 1st 1k miles or so . After that , I noticed shifting got a little funky . I tried another oil change with rotella and the same thing happened . I just switched to m1 5w40 , hopefully it will do better .

    How long have you seen a transmission go without a fluid change?

    Bmw and many other mfrs say lifetime for the trans fluid,which I do not believe in.I saw some wasted auto trans when I worked at bmw with way under 100k miles.The lifetime fluid is also major $ at bmw,like $200-300 for the fluid.All the mfrs seem to be jumping on the low maintenance...
