Anybody using Spectro oil in their Husky? I'll have my new TE610 next week and want to treat it right. Thanks, Grump
I think quite a few are. Running Golden Spectro 4-semi synthetic in my TE510, and pretty much the same in all my previous bikes for the last +/-20yrs. Typically run 20w/50 during hotter summer temps, 10w/40 in cooler spring/fall. You might start/stay with petroleum oil for the first several hundred miles of break-in, then switch to the Spectro syn blend
+1 in my TE610E and 2 stroke pre-mix. Local North East Company and sponsor of the NE Husky Gathering!
Yea,what RLW said.I've been using their products 30+ years ...2 Stroke and 4 Stroke .....way back when it used to be called Hi Point(if my mind serves me correctly,but it does go on the fritz occasionally..my mind that is ). Good stuff :ride:Guscycle
Here is what my dealer uses and recommends, Spectro 4 "Off Road" Petroleum for break-in period of 600 mi. or so. After that, Spectro 4 "Off Road" Semi-Synthetic. 20-50 HiFlo HF-154 filters. Use the old oil for chain lube.
Nope, this was the first one. http://www.cafehusky.com/forums/showthread.php?t=220 We should all still be proud though
I really don't want to take this thread off topic but..... As a general reminder - 4 letters is the minimum length for searches. "oil" will not turn up meaningful results.... I'm working on that but it will be months before it changes. EDIT - the "Similar Threads" feature at the bottom of the page may, or may not, be useful - I really do not know... In the future (I know everyone is tired of hearing this) threads will be filed away so people can find them easier. .
Ok, I know oil threads (among other powerful topics) are usually never ending etc...It was just I never even heard of Spectro oil till recently so thats why I asked. So I am going to give it a try. But as usual, changing it often is the best medicine no matter what kind you use... Cheers, Grump P.S. It seems like I searched and maybe the 3 letter rule kept me from finding those other threads. I did like the link to the oil thread above (ThumperTalk).
We use Motul 15 50 over here (UK) Motul has proven to be a superior oil over alot of the other oils in the UK. Never used Spectro but I think Drew at WER (US) uses it so it must be good.
Another way to contol whose oil you use (factory tie-ups). Very few manufacturers make a 10w60. Motorex and Agip (obviously) do. The Motul 15w50 will be outperforming most oils after an hours running, its double ester based.
