Take for example, Pro Honda’s latest JASO-approved HP4S full synthetic four stroke engine oil.
JASO stands for the Japanese Automobile Standards Organization. With strong
input from Honda R&D, JASO established standards classifying the specific
performance for motorcycle engine oils.
These standards were established to meet the higher demands of
motorcycle engines. Compared to cars, motorcycle engines produce
more power per displacement, run at higher RPM, and have both
smaller capacity oil volumes and cooling systems. Plus…
Motorcycles use their oil to lubricate their transmissions and
clutches. Auto oils lack the ability to withstand the shear
forces created by the transmission’s gear teeth, which
quite literally tear the oil molecules apart. Also… their
anti-friction additives can cause a motorcycle’s clutch
to slip. Pro Honda’s latest HP4S, though, is formulated
especially for use in motorcycles and ATVs to offer the
ultimate in performance on or off the track.JASO stands for the Japanese Automobile Standards Organization. With strong

That's why I use Mobil 1 4T Racing Oil at about $7 a quart. Lipcurl just wanted the information on it so that is what I supplied.

to answer your question no .no one uses it i use castrol full syn and will probably change to the ams oil i here alot of good things about it
Ahhh, I should have just asked this guy as he knows what everyone else uses and I wouldn't have wasted anybodys time.
Let me be as clear as can be:
Please only reply to this thread if you currently use hp4s or have used hp4s in the past in your rincon. I'm not looking for opinions or guesses and I really really really dont care what oil YOU use and i Don't care what it costs.
Thank you

little to no significant difference between boutique cycle or HDEO motor oils and Rincon performance imo...when I tried the $40 Amsoil 5/30 I thought the auto shift was slightly better but not near enough to use that mode. $20 a gallon gets Rotella-T 5/40 probably the best all around way to go by consensus...save the change for whiskey and women.
Not stressing at all. Just looking for someone with a little experience with the product, and not a bunch of uneducated opinions. I obviously posted the wrong place for that.
I have 4 quarts of the stuff going in the rinny tomorrow. Didn't realize the stuff was so new that no one has tried it.
Another quality post grump! That 2 for 2 for you in this thread. Great job!!Well, I can understand why you are called "Lipcurl" it suits you.
