Bogger,
That is indeed a bold claim sir and I don't doubt you are right but can you expand a little?
So I have been getting Castrol 10/30 from the Honda dealer for 9 years when I could have used F/S 5/40 (car oil) at probably less cost?

^^Not car oil, but motorcycle oil.

I also run 40 weight (10W-40) in all my Cubs and have been doing so for 15 years. I've found my Cubs get a bit rattly with 30 weight.

There you go you see . For the past five years I have run all my small capacity bikes and scooters on the aforementioned 5/40 fully synthetic and yes it is CAR oil. All bikes running perfectly no clutch slip or any of that b****ks. I've saved myself a fortune as I was using Silkolene fully synthetic bike oil before. You live and learn as they say. I love an oil discussion . Oh the BMW R1200ST runs on 5/50 CAR oil. Loves it.

The last 4 lts of fully synthetic car oil was from a car boot sale Elf 5/40 that'll be £2.00 pr ltr container. Ta very much.

Bogger

does anyone seriously know the difference between motocycle oil and car oil? besides what is titled on the bottle.

Put Motorbike on the package and double the price. .
