[QUOTE="keithb7, post: 883743, member: 58846"] My personal preference is too use common multiple viscosity engine oil, such as 10W30 or similar, easily found at Walmart, Pepboys, where ever. The idea is to change it often. If the tranny holds one litre of oil, it's really cheap to change it after every ride. You can get Walmart's house brand "SL" rated engine oil for less than $2 Canadian, per litre. I have been doing this for years and have yet to have a problem. It is my belief that "motorcycle" oils such as those marketed with the Honda logo, have anti-shearing additives as the oil will be broken down sooner going through the tranny gears. This same oil used in your typical automotive engine does not experience this type of shearing. Just change it lots and change it often. You can't beat clean oil. I read somewhere that if you changed the oil in your car engine everyday, the engine would darn near last forever. (the cost of the oil you were wasting would far exceed the cost of replacing the engine many times over). That being said, my point is, good clean "Walmart" oil is better than 3 month old, 10 rides later, Honda motorcycle oil. This just my opinion, might all be c r a p :uh: , but it works for me.
