Just wondering what oils you all are running. Previous owner(carer) to my...um I mean (the wifes [bow_down]) bike used a brand that is way up the scale of what I can get and afford down here so I was going to use MOTUL 10W-40. I know they say Shell but I hate Shell fuel so I dont wanna go the oil  [thumbsdown]
Can anyone advise if this one would be ok?

Motul is fine!! Been using it now for 2-3 years since the Shell got stupidly expensive in bike shops and maybe as a result harder to get!?  [roll]

There is an oil thread here somewhere in the Oz Monsters site with a lot of options that people are using/used!  [thumbsup]

I run cold pressed extra virgin olive oil. It's an Italian bike, after all.


2007 Monster 695 with a few mods.
2013 Piaggio Typhoon 50 2 stroke speed demon.

I prefer a nice Swedish massage oil tempered to 2-3 degrees above body temp.
Paul has never complained.

But when he is not around I run Silkolene

By now Jamie you should be starting to see and comprehend the general lunacy and irreverant attitude of the miscreants of the OZ Monster section of the esteemed DMF!?  [roll] [evil] [thumbsup] [bow_down]

from experience motul is ok but still fairly expensive

I bought the penrite the other day when supercheap had 20% off so was about $36 for 5 litres full synth
which meets motorcycle spec
i dont care if you have been a mechanic for 10 years doing something for a long time does not make you good at it, take my gf for an example shes been walking for 28 years and still manages to fall over all the time.
