cvsporn · 07-11-2009, 10:51 PM

im looking at my owners manual for my 2007 r6... and it list 5 types of oils i can use....

10w-30
10w-40
15w-40
20w-40
20w-50

i guess it has to do with temperature and such

which should i use out of the five......what do you guys use or recommend?

I use Amsoil 10w-40 and its been great.

you don't need the 20w oils.

10w40 should be fine for you. As said above, Amsoil is an excellent choice if you are looking to go with synthetics.

I use Mobil MX4T because it is available locally and highly rated. Also use a Pure One filter. FWIW, regular oil changes are more important than the brand.

i use amsoil for my first ever change... but aside from that, i think any type of syntec oil should be fine... as long as it's for bikes..
