Just got back from the bike shop and can't believe they want $9.00 for a litre of Yamaha 4 stroke 10-30 oil, the type I've using on my RM250. They said: "oh, the price of oil went up".
Yeah, right. 50% increase since 3 months ago.
So I go to a car parts store and ask around. Was told that Castrol 4 stroke motorcycle oil to be ok to use. What do you think? This oil apparently has no additives, which is what I think Yamalube is (Yamalube says 'non-friction modified')
Anyone knows if this ok to use on a 2 stroke 250 machine for the transmission? I was running Yamalube 10-30 and the Castrol only comes in 10-40 or 20-50. I'm in Canada where it doesn't always get very hot, in fact comes fall, I'll be biking around the freezing mark. So which oil weight should I go with, should Castrol be ok to run on my bike?
Thanks
PS: if Castrol isn't the best alternative what would be? I rather buy the stuff in galons, insteda of litres, if possible.
