And after two pages of recommendations, I still don't know what that is! Semi synth is ever popular but not everyone says so.

I'm looking at 4 days in almeria this November and one wouldn't want to go with the wrong oil in the 'box, would one????

I'm going to put the same stuff into my Triumph Sprint because virtually everything else makes the gear change clunky when it heats up. Wish me luck!

Thanks for all your input.

I used that for a year, no problem with clutch slip, or anything else.

This thread prompted me to do a quick google search on what the numbers mean

42 years old and i now know what multigrade is all about :lol:

One sensible suggestion i can add to the thread is flush the gearbox and clean the clutch plates of all the old oil .. some oils don't mix well and might explain the clutch slip problem

Change of plan.
The mobil 1 has gone into my Sprint ST and i've got some Rockoil Synthesis 4 racing for the Monster. We shall see...
