Title: OILS AINT OILS? Post by: jamie2548 on August 03, 2012, 02:38:28 AM 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? Title: Re: OILS AINT OILS? Post by: dragonworld. on August 03, 2012, 03:18:28 AM 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] Title: Re: OILS AINT OILS? Post by: jamie2548 on August 03, 2012, 03:32:56 AM Cheers Dragon ill have a look around the forum for it. ;)

Title: Re: OILS AINT OILS? Post by: Two dogs on August 03, 2012, 02:23:43 PM 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 Title: Re: OILS AINT OILS? Post by: jamie2548 on August 03, 2012, 03:11:06 PM I run cold pressed extra virgin olive oil.

http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=57164.0 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=57164.0) 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 |
