Engine Oil

15 May 2006 07:10

I have heard a ton of different opinions on the question of whether there is any actual difference or benefit on using motorcycle oil compared to a good quality automotive oil in your bike. Since the people I ask can't answer the question I am asking the group of bike owners I know have the answer. I have a 78 KZ1000, is there a difference between automotive and motorcyle oil?

Thanks
