Ok guys, I'm having a bit of trouble. I went looking for Synthetic 10w-40 Oil and decided to ask a couple of ??? before I buy. Do all manufacturers make Synthetic 10w-40? I only found one option at the local Wally World, and it was a Synthetic Blend. Before I go out to the local automotive stores (Pep Boys, Autozone, Advanced Auto, Napa), I wanted your opinion.
My questions are -
1) None of the oil (regular or different weight synthetic) ever listed to be rated SF or SG as required by the manual. I saw SA, SL, and other S? combinations but not what I needed. What gives with that?
2) Does this Synthetic oil have to be motorcycle specific? I know there has been some debate with this issue as I read a little on this site last year. But I want pros and cons from those who are doing there own changes and I can't find that debate anymore.
I'd like to get this oil changed this week ... weather will be crap anyway
Anyway, thanks for your replies ... happy riding
