Kawasaki oil.
07/07/10 11:19 AM

First off I must admit I am very hesitant posting this because I don't want to start another "who's oil is best thread." There are shitloads of polls on this already, I just want to share my latest experience with you, use it for what it's worth.. I must admit, I am an Amsoil fan, I use it in all my vehicles, from weedeater to bike, to truck. I have been a fan for over 20 years. I recently need an oil change on the zx badly, I went to my dealer and they were out of what I was after. I debated for a while and bought Kawasaki's full synthetic oil and thought I would give it a try, it was within a few cents of the Amsoil so I figured it was fairly quality sutff, however I have no idea who makes it for them. Well after my oil change all I can say is WOW, I am impressed, I always had the first gear clunk guys talk about, but it is almost completely gone now, the gearbox is way way smoother with the Kawa oil for whatever reason. I cannot believe how much nicer it shifts, I always thought my Amsoil was one of the top dogs,, I am now begining to change my mind. I really hate to bash them because it's always been good to me, but let me inform you, if your on the fence about changing oil brands, give the Kawasaki oil a try, I sure am glad that I did.! Time will tell if it holds up, but my first impression is it's awesome oil.

I used to use opti-4 then the dealer stopped selling it so now I use the Kawaski synthetic and their oil filters so that they have record of me doing oil changes for my warranty.

I thought Repsol full synthetic Racing 10W40 was the cat's @$$ for the first 500 miles of use. After that, it was like the normal conventional oil I was using up to that point. I've used Kawi conventional ever since. It's a lot cheaper.
