If it meets the specs it should be fine. I have not checked the specs of the Mobil oil.
I buy the BMW stuff in liter bottles. The last bottle I bought was $23 and that's enough for 5 changes.

When I first had the K1300 I used oil that Land Rover sold. Supposedly it was the same oil as the BMW stuff at half the price.

Hi Dan, I bought a 1 Qt. Bottle of Castrol Syntrax Limited Slip 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Oil (P/N: LBL 06674-00 B) rated GL-5 and MT-1 from Amazon for $19.06 in September 2016...24 k miles and still using it.

Thanks guys, I'm going with the Mobil 1 that I have on my shelf.

[Captain Howdy]

Have you changed it 3 times in 16k miles - why so often?

[aviator]

It used to be the Castrol SAF XO, but now renamed to Syntrax.

I changed it at the 600 mile service, then again at the 6000 mile oil change, then again at the 12,000 mile oil change. Probably overkill, but its my bike and I like overkill, I probably have at least 600 coats of wax on it too!!

I have used mobil 1 75w-90 for about a year 10000km. No problem, as long as it is a gl5 it is godd, gl5 is the spec....

Oh ... "THAT" sort of rear end oil. For a minute there I thought it was a call-out to Blue Oyster Bar dudes.

[aviator]

Fr4n you are funny.

Not that there is anything wrong with that!

Phew! I was worried again that you were asking again for rear end lube advice but now I'm cleared up!
