Re: [ST] oil



Thanks Matt....oil is confusing enough (for a geek like myself) so I got
worried when my brand of choice didn't seem to cut it...

You are good to go.  The friction modifiers are supposedly what will make
a clutch slip, thus the motorcycle would prefer to not have them.

I have a couple jugs of gold cap in my garage right now ready to go into
my S3/ST for future oil changes.  Your comment on "It does NOT have
friction modifiers according to everything I can find." kinda worries me
now.  SHOULD the oil we put in our beloved Trumpets have friction
modifiers ?  I thought I had the right oil to use for future oil changes
but now I'm not sure.

Cheers.

I've got a jug of Mobil 1 gold cap that I got at Wal-Mart about a month
ago for right on $23.  Gold cap is easy to find and relatively cheap for a
full synthetic.  It does NOT have friction modifiers according to
everything I can find.  That being said 10W40 versus 15W50 is a total
non-issue to all but the most anal oil crazies. Rod
