Engine seems a bit quieter and smoother when i use the Silkolene, seems to last a fair while before starting to go a bit "off" as well, i went comfortably with 6-8k between changes on the GPX.
It Just went up Smitty, so all the retailers will be adjusting prices soon as stocks are renewed.
I bought a bottle of Motul 7100 for the 9 yesterday. it was horribly expensive at $55 a bottle. But I always prefer a better quality oil, as sometimes I may not change my oil for 8-10k depending on what I am doing, and a better quality oil, usually hangs in there a little longer. With NEO oil, i could change it every 12-15K without any detrimental effects. Not that I did it often, usually 10k is the longest interval I would go in an emergency. With the Motul 7100 however, it's being dropped at 5K intervals.

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?
