[QUOTE="clevtrev, post: 15338, member: 187"] Hello Pete 4000, Yes castrol 20/50 is satisfactory and I covered many miles on 20/50 of another make until I switched to 10w 40. which is performing well. The reasons for my changing are first, you can buy 10w 40 at any filling station in europe, second, oil technology has moved on since the introduction of 20/50 and as the vincent design makes it very slow to heat up the oil to working temperature I prefer a lube which flows better when cold, and the final consideration is that we buy 10w 40 in bulk and always have around 500 litres in the workshop!!![IMG]http://www.vincentownersclub.co.uk/images/icons/icon12.gif[/IMG] John[/QUOTE] When was the last time your oil got to working temperature ?
