[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 406378, member: 13140"] I bought a water cooled Montesa 315R trials bike from a guy that ran the Amsoil at 100:1. I took it straight to Moab Utah. On its first long trail ride up a mountain it had a chance to get the pipe and everthing warmed up real good. Once the temp came up and the built up Amsoil started to burn. It looked like the whole mountain was on fire. That thing belched smoke like a freight train for 1/2 hour. It was so bad we were worried about somebody in the distance calling the fire department. Best we could explain was that Amsoil did not burn well and coated everything including the pipe with oil. Once it started to burn it would not stop. It was fine after that and I switched to castor oil. My other experience was with with Royal purple. I was researching oil and got a hold of their oil lab. They would not certify their oil like Pappy referred to either. Why not? Everybody else does ensuring they at least meet some type of standard. Stick with oil from companies that care enough to prove it's doing what it's supposed to do by certifying it. [/QUOTE]
