What oil are you running,

Postby Cshat » Fri May 16, 2014 12:40 pm

Hi all just curious about what oil people are running, I just did a 30,000 km service on my z750
I filled it with MOTUL 4T 10w40 300v factory line race oil,
I love all bikes, but the naked ones get me going

Serious waste of $$$$, which could be better spent on beer ..

Yeah I thought that too, $129 is a bit steep, at least I got a free filter with it

I've always run Motul 5100 in roadies but it's all the same so long as you change it regularly. Just stick to the same oil regularly.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.

Hi , I now use penrite 0w/20 in my bike as the high tech was causing clutch shutter on higher rev launches .. the penrite "race oil" is also ester as is the V300 and other Motul oils . Very happy with it as its 67 dollars for 5 litres . :D
