[remfanuk]

what oil do i put in my 1999 748BP please? will find out what has been used in it, but any recommendations would be good. ta

[raykay748R]

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

15W/50 fully synth.

[rcgbob44]

Lard for summer and 3 in 1 for winter.

[moto748]

I use Motul 300V in mine.

That's a 15/50 fully synth.

Done me OK for the last 52000 miles.

[remfanuk]

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

[Stealth]

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

[PDL]

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

[remfanuk]

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?

[moto748]

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
