Hi.

What type of oil can I use in my bike, 10-40w semi-Synthetic?


I've got loads of this in my garage, Is it safe to use?

Thanks

That should be fine. I use any 10w-40 semi I can get my hands on.

I change it very regularly though which I think is more important

Thanks.

Its brand new, it would a shame to get rid of it.

Just wanted to make sure it didn't kill my bike.

CMSMJ1: When you say regularly do you mean the 5k km regular, or are you like some of the aggressive riders who do it every 2k km or even more often?

I use Castrol Activo btw.

I'm talking every 4 months for a filter and oil change.. got to keep the moto sweet..

oil and filter change 4 times a year for me-
every 3 months cos she deserves a treat :-)

depends how much you ride in that time though. are u riding every day?

when you can go into halfords and get 5 litres of semi synth for 20 with the current discount going on, it seems illogical not to change the oil that often. i do oil changes for fun sometimes

do you just drop the used oil off at your local garage and they don't mind?

by law in the UK all MOT test centers have to accept used oil
