Engine oils which type and how often do you change it

Acid · Post by **Acid** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 3:09 pm

servicing my nc30 atm and just wondered what kind of oil everyone is using and how often they change the oil, filter

My bike has just hit 25,000 kms ( yep its still a baby )

I change the oil every 5k with new filter,

I use motul 5100 10w40 and a oem oil filter with magnetic sump plug

thinking of trying some motul 300v 5w40 now

what you guys using ?

10/40 stuff from Hein Gericke. It's 5100 Motul re-packaged. I change the oil twice a year and a new filter each time, not mileage related.

I change mine on average 3 times a year, new stubby filter each time. I use a HDD magnet on the filter too and a magnetic sump plug..

have had a killer deal on motorex sem syth 10/40 from my local shop and bought 16 litres for practically sod all..so I am treating my moto well!

Once a year oil and filter change per bike (used both genuine Honda and HiFlo oil filters).

Previously used Castrol GPS 10w-40 (in green can):

Type GPS is recently replaced by Castrol Power RS 4T 10w-40 (in gold can):

Will pickup 12 litre RS 4T in nice deal this weekend and couple of new oil filters.

Castrol 10w40 semi synth, not changed often enough lately, though once a year is normal!
