2/25/2023 0 Comments Quicksilver motorcycle oil reviewI would not use this in a motorcycle, though I guess it could do no harm. Their Main conventional MARINE ENGINE OIL is 25/40 with a claimed no viscosity improver. These products consist of corrosion inhibitors, cable lubricants, gear oils, engine oils, everything under the sun and rock solid products.Ī few years back they came out with other synthetic power sports lubricants at very reasonable prices, if they carried over the same quality as their marine lubricants isnt proven but I certainly would not hesitate to use the power sports lubricants. They make many specialized marine lubricant products and I have found them to always be superior to "after market" products. In the decades of boating experience, their Marine Lubricants are top notch in my book. Quicksilver is the lubrication division of Mercury Marine. (they also make an atv oil I believe plus many, many, many specialized marine lubricants. There seems to be some confusion in this thread.ĪD244 didnt post what kind of Quicksilver 20/50 oil he purchased but we can assume its Quicksilver Motorcycle oil. I appreciate any feedback and insight from members who have used the Quicksilver oils in the past. I am ideally looking for just more protection and peace of mind running the thicker stuff in the old bike. I still have a good stash of the Rotella so more than likely I will hold off on trying the Quicksilver until summer hits however have any members on here given this oil a go in a big bike? My Honda has recently had the top end replaced by my mechanic so I couldn’t get a good look of the internals however from what he said, there don’t seem to be any issues with internal wear/ damage from the Rotella. I typically change it every 30 or so hours as the bike does not have an odometer. Honda Recommends: Oil change every 600 miles, 10W-40 or 20W-50 are specified however synthetic is not. It is not uncommon for the coolant overflow bottle to boil its contents during tight single track and long hill climbs as the bike does not have any radiator fans (Next project). I ride the bike in the deserts of southern California year round in the heat of the desert where 100+ degrees are not uncommon. Traditionally I have always run Rotella T5 (?) 15w-40 in the bike and it has really done fine thus far (may be the motto of this thread). The bike in question is my trusty 2001 Honda XR650R, the water cooled thumper. I recently picked up some quarts of Quicksilver 20w-50 Full synthetic on clearance from Wallys World for $5.00 a quart with the intent of running it in my bike.
