What oil you guys using? i live here in the US and am having difficulty getting ahold of the shell motorcycle brand of oils. What do you guys run if your not currently running the shell line? |
Silkolene Comp 4 , grade 10W40, have used it in big V-twins for 5 yearsnow including the race TL1000 and the race 916 |
:roll: I use shell fully synthetic advance ultra 15w40. But I also use the rock oil and castrol fully synthetic oils. I always used to use semi synthetic oils but know I have the Ducati I tend to go fully synthetic with plenty of changes if I am doing the milage.:) |
so you guys are going 15w40? Thought for Ducati's everyone tended to lean toward 15w50. |
No I said I use 10W40 as recommended by Ducati http://www.ducati.com/bikes/service....ng&detailId=46 "Ducati uses Shell Advance Ultra with SAE 10W-40 Grade in all of its models." |
Weird, thought everyone swore by the 15w50, my bad |
Mobil 1, 15W-50, automobile oil. Here's why: http://ducatisportingclub.com/xmb/vi...=6566#pid53390 [Edited on 5-28-2004 by Shazaam!] |
Doh........confusion setting in, i'm lost. Why auto oil? [Edited on 28-5-2004 by Vlud] |
Hi Vlud,i've used 15w-50 Mobil 1 bike oil in all my Dukes(currently 998S & 916SPS),never had any problems! |
What oil you guys using See also earlier thread. But in the manual I have (996R) it specifically states 15W 50. The Dealer also refused to put in 10W 40. They supply Shell but also Sikoline full synth |
