Q: Can I switch between mineral oils and synthetics, or do I have to stay with one for the life of the vehicle?
A: You can switch back and forth between synthetics and non-synthetics, no problem.
Q: How do I dispose of used synthetic oils when I do my own changes?
A: You should dispose of synthetics and synthetic blends the same way you dispose of mineral oils – that is to follow all EPA guidelines for disposal, never dump in the trash or down a drain.
Q: Should some engines NOT run synthetic oils?
A: We have noticed some synthetic oils (Valvoline Durablend, for example) are not optimized for use in wet-clutch transmissions.
Q: Can I run “Pro Honda Oils” in my Yamaha sportbike, or “Pure Polaris Synthetic” in my Kawasaki ATV?
A: Yes, these and other OEM-branded chemicals will work in any brand of motorcycle, scooter or ATV. In fact, Pro Honda oils and chemicals have gained an excellent reputation among powersports enthusiasts of all brands.
Q: How do I know which type (not which brand) of oil to use, from 5W30 to 20W50?
A: Glad you asked. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) introduced the numbered code system that we see on so many oil containers. Here’s what the numbers mean.
