Mazola should do it, at the end of the season into the deep fat fryer and bobs your uncle.

15W/50 fully synth.

rcgbob44 · 29-Mar-2006, 22:54

Lard for summer and 3 in 1 for winter.

I use Motul 300V in mine.

That's a 15/50 fully synth.

Done me OK for the last 52000 miles.

52000!!! on what? a 748 as your tag suggests? thats pretty stunning mileage...

Motul 300V. My 996 did 27000 on it and would probably have done way more if some toerag hadn't nicked it.....

Full synthetic and make sure you change it and the filter every 3k.

remfanuk · 30-Mar-2006, 23:46

sounds like Motul has a following...of at least two anyway. any real point spending out on Shell etc...i am presuming Motul is cheaper...though i know it to be a quality brand. 15/50...is that the recommended viscosity as opposed to 10/50?

Actually, Motul is probably dearer. I'm sure Shell is fine too, but that's what I use.

remfanuk> Yes. See March's Performance Bikes
