scoobymark Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Motul 300v 15/50 here too, opie oils is a good source for oil if your changing it yourself or nip out to Hypertech in bonnybridge and get duncan to do a oil change. Link to comment
craigdmcd Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 My dipstick is clean and shiney, I use silkolene pro-s 5-40, changed every 5000miles, going to use the 10-50 next though. I'm with this man, Silkolene Pro S 10w-50. Thin enough for these cold mornings, and not too thick if you give it some beans for a while. Opie oils have good write-up's on some forums explaining the in's and out's of different oils. Best idea is to phone them - they stock quite a lot of oils, so I would guess that they'll happily sell you the right stuff and not just one brand because that is all they stock. Link to comment
