What oil do you use? Petrol engines only
18. Aug 2006 at 23:22

Yes, yes. I know. But it had to be done so here it is once and for all.

So guys and gals. What oil do you use? By cheap and nasty I think you all know what I mean, you know that stuff you get for £3 a gallon from the local motor accessory shop.

No fighting now ladies. Just straight talk. This is not a what is best thread, just a what do you use poll. We don't need any silly opinions because we all know that semi-synth is best. so there! Wink

Hands up, that was me. Embarrassed

That's what i'm running just now, but apparently i can save a packet by using semi, which some people claim is just as good, then i could afford Heinz tomato soup instead of the 11p Aldi pish. My mouth is watering at the thought. Grin

Aug 2006 at 10:23 It is wet clutch, and doesn't slip. The oil spec is correct, and works well. Oil in ZX-10 gets changed every 2 - 3k as well (Kawasaki recommend 4k). The only bike I've had that needed a specific oil was an old Yamaha

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine
