I bought a used 2007 s4r. No motor work just zard exhaust and Dyno tuned. The old owner was running agip 4t 20w-60 full synthetic. This oil is hard to find anyone know an equivalent.
Your bike calls for 10w-40 according to the owners manual. 20w-60 is too heavy for the plain bearings.
Any full synthetic moto specific oil will be fine...Mobil-1... Klotz...
My mistake 20-50
its the first number that counts on start up. too heavy.
Anyone use maxima maxum4 extra full synthetic
I use Klotz. Any group 4 or 5 full synth will be fine in the proper viscosity.
Your manual allows use of 20w-50 above 32F, but 10w-40 is optimal.
Thanks for info

Keep in mind that 'car oils' won't have the additives your gearbox needs.
Moto specific is important
Ya I'm going to buy it from monster parts it's a Moto oil,thanks again
Jeff will take care of you. [thumbsup]
Happy to help.
Spent some money with him very helpful
I changed oil again, yesterday, and went, again, with Mobil1 Racing 4T 10W-40.
As CA banned cold weather (together with many useful things, unfortunately) long time ago, and since when the bike is hot some little funny noises seem to spawn to life, next time I am going to give 20W-50 a try.
