Few questions about oil..

Post by HondaRoss » Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:17 pm

Right, as well as a C90 I have a CBR 600F 2002 model, and my girlfriend has a Suzuki Bandit 600. In time for the better weather I am going to do an oil change on the two big bikes.. stupid question, but which oil should I use? I have always just put it in for a service and let them take care of such matters!

The manual for the CBR says 10w40 but nothing about whether it should be fully synthetic or semi synthetic..

My next question is... will the same oil do the Bandit?

And (when I fix the clutch) which oil should I use in the cub?

And Finally.... Where is the best place to buy oil online?

Thanks for any help guys!

I find oilman (listed here in 'Recommended Suppliers') to be very good :)

I like to use Silkoline semi synth 10w40, some here use cheap mineral, I would keep away from any car oil and fully synth.
