What the??!!!

Alright darn it....! I read it in the owners manual too so I know this site is right on but c'mon... really?

 

Oil type/grade

If temperature does not go below 40 F (5 C)

Yamalube 4-cycle oil/SAE 20W40 type SE

If temperature does not go above 60 F(15C)

SAE 10W30 type SE

 

I live in c o l o r a d o .... it is often above 60F and often below 40F (especially in the hills)

So what now? 10W-40?

 

Stupid question I know but in all my years of working for Toyota and Honda (cars) I've never seen anything like that.

 

Hmmmpph.... LOL

 

Many thanks to Dano for the help earlier... pics to come Dano, I promise. That way you can run this FNG through the ringer too.... LOL

Most guys use the Rotella 15w-40,works great for us.

 

You're welcome, BTW, anytime.

I run 20-50 amsoil and motorcote and I'm very happy with it.

I run 15W40 in TN. It gets way below 40, and way above 60 here.

Thats what I run. Castrol Dino Oil for 45yrs and never a oil related problem. Use a good oil and change it regular is the most important thing.

Stitch65,

 

 

What year and model (e.g.: RSV or Tour Dulexe) is you bike?

 

What page of the manual did you find this informaiton on???

 

I cant find it in mine.

 

I have a 2007 RSV and on page 9-1 there is a chart that sayto use 10W30 from 10-100 F and to use 20w40 from 40-120 F air tempss.

 

 

I normally use Rotella T6 full synthetic all year which is 5W-40 and JASO MA certified so it meats warantee requirements.
