Oil for my Bike
Oil for my Bike
Hi.
I bought Shell 5w-40 Full Synthetic oil for my VTR.
Is that OK ? The blokes in my small town don’t really know what oil to use.
Thx

Seems the jury's still out over fully or semi synth though - me I'm on fully.

I wouldn't recommend going back from fully to semi unless you flush your engine through else you will get that congilled effect, kinda gelly.
