[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 114074, member: 586"] Well Bill, I am sure that has confused Russell. :-) But you are right as far as the UK goes. Over here most of us use a multigrade because the weather varies a lot. For instance, today is 20ºC and Thursday is predicted to be 40ºC. OK!! Who rides when it is 40ºC ?? I tend to use Penrite HPR50 all year round as it seems to do the job. No, it is NOT 50w which is even more confusing. I think the real "trick" is not to over fill the tank as it then takes way too long to reach operational temp. We tend to use the bridge piece as the level if we have a leak free and smoke free bike. There were some bikes at the International that needed a supplementary oil tank due to smoke and leaks. Also, I change oil after 5,000Km or once a year, whichever comes first. Filters I change every second oil change. It is cheap insurance. [/QUOTE]
