Morning all

Novice question here, sorry....

What engine oil do we use/recommend for an NC23? Manual says 10W40, but should it be synthetic or fully synthetic?

Also is there any difference between "bike oil" and "car oil"? There seems to be a big difference in price.....

Cheers guys/gals!
Chris

Semi-synthetic bike oil is what you want for road use. Dont use car oil as it contains friction inhibitors that could cause clutch slip.
