And I am not trying to show you anything new, I am wanting your knowledge before I use something in my bike. Once again you are getting confused.

They have enough ZDDP in them to meet the minimum Savage ZDDP criteria "as is"."

This is worse than txting, So many things can be taken out of context. Huge confusion here i Think. I have managed to gather enough information from Oldfeller to use the right mix of oil and ZDDP. Thanks Oldfeller, it took awhile but I was able to pick your brain enough to find my answers. So If I understand correctly Penrite 10 plus meets the minimum requirements for ZDDP. Excellent.

Great work Oldfeller I got what I need. Wink

OF .... glad that this senile old fart could help you get your daily dose of jollies

Paul,If you cant lay hands on Shell's Rotella 15/40, if its the same stuff in a different jug there, okay, whatever, but if you cant get that stuff, then Get Suzuki oil, screw the cost, to hell with Everything about Engine Longevity & I want the BEST oil, Solve the clutch problem, Then worry about finding the best oil. YOu only have to flush it, maybe twice, then, Off to the races hunting that magic oil, but unless you put in something you ABSOLUTELY KNOW is right for that clutch & add NOTHING, you could swap oil, spend a load of $$ / quart & still be slipping, & wind up tearing it down & cleaning the clutch up disk by disk.

When you say flush do you mean using a particular flushing product?justin_o_guy2 wrote on 11/21/12 at 18:59:00:

No. Nothing special, not yet. Id dump the oil & replace it with an oil you KNOW absolutely will not make the clutch slip & doesnt cost an arm & a Leg. Rotella T 15/40 is my favorite, I believe its good enough to get a service life outta the engine long enough to wear the rest of the bike out.
Who needs more? If you cant find Rotella T, or Shells product under another name that IS Rotella T here, then get Suzuki oil, dump it, slap a new filter in it, go ride, dont TRY to make it slip, just ride it a coupla hundred miles, then, if it slips any, dump it again,

If theres No IMprovement, then youre most likely gonna have to open it up.

Old bikers - notice how they ride if you want to live long.

Dear Oldfeller, I'm quite old too and retired from my past professional activities, which didn't include selling anything to anybody. So it was not fair at all to mistake me for a contemptible snake oil shill.

Old age... well, ok, there's a bunch of kids here calling me grandpa but I'm fine, except for a back pain that I suspect the Savage should be blamed for. But I gladly forgive her, she mistreats this oldie a bit but gives him so much pleasure... And my liver is ok too, people don't complain of my bad temper.

.....The Miltec was the exact same stuff that is sitting by my keyboard, the guy used an ounce of it in a sump of normal oil to juice up a Goldwing (dry clutch, separate engine sump).....

For the record, all Gold Wings (from the first ones in 1975) have had wet clutches.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming......

On links for the redline ZDDP, both Summit and Jeggs have it cheaper than Amazon depending on quantity and how you do shipping.

http://www.jegs.com/i/Red-Line-Oil/816/81403/10002/-1
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/red-81403

And if you have a local Cycle Gear, they stock RedLine Motorcycle Oil. Good in a pinch, if a little expensive.

Amazon comes and goes, comes and goes -- Prime shipping is cheap sometimes (if the stuff is actually in a Amazon warehouse) other times you pay somebody else more to ship it from their place.
