Ducati recommend Shell Advance Ultra 4 10W/40, engine builders state Motul 300V 10/40 (I think), racers like 15W50, what about Castrol?

The reason I ask is, I have always used Castrol in most my cars and bikes, however know Ducati's are very fussy (defo females) and therefore don't want to risk any bad-ness... Also I have a dicount card for Halfords and they serve Castrol

So would Castrol Power 1 Racting 4T 10W40 (fully synth) be ok for my Ducati (11,500 miles)?

Answers on a post(card) please,

Cheers,

Diehard

Yes. In the past used the very same stuff myself, although gets a bit thin when pushing hard, notice the oil consumption.

I would stick with 15/50 fully synth.
