[QUOTE="kx137, post: 968539, member: 32643"] The synthetic diesel oils are 5w-40 oils. Some people concerned that this doesn't match the 10w-40 specs for their engine. The 5w rating only applies when the oil is cold, below about 80° f. Once your oil and engine are up to operating temperature, these are 40 weight oils, just like all the others. In cold conditions, under 40° f, the 5w oils are much better for your engine than a 10w oil. These sites along w/ jaybird and bigred's posts helped talk me out of wasting my money on the motorcycle specific oils at the shop. Very good readings here -- [url]http://www.yft.org/tex_vfr/tech/oil.htm[/url] -- and -- [url]http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Oils1.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
