I'm about due for my next oil change and just bought a jug of Mobil 1 5-30 synthetic that remains un-opened.
The more I read , the more I discount the rumors that :
One can use any oil one wants to in these motors .
There has been no "formal" testing that I can find .
I think one thing to think about here is , how much time do our cars engines actually spend above 2500 RPM's ?
Look down at the tach on your bike and notice the revs are hardly ever below 3000 RPM's
I do believe the sustained higher RPM's of our bikes require a "specialized" type of oil .
XPS is just too expensive for me and I have to travel 45 minutes one way to get a jug .
If I could get it online ... that would be different .
It's time to start shopping for an ATV specific oil that's affordable and readily available .
