Here I bought a can of Castrol Edge 10W60 oil: 56 € at the Leclerc car center (against more than 70 € in Belgium ... live taxes !!!)

Cool I almost drive an Aston Martin : Mrgreen:

To drain my 1994 VFR ... I would tell you the results (noise, engine behavior. Cold, hot ..).

FYI, I had tested the 5W30 a long time ago and it didn't like it at all (we could hear the valves or springs which "clicked" when the engine slows down hot) ... I drained it!

Beautiful, well done.

Like what it's very simple, you just have to mark "Bugatti" and "Aston Martin" behind an oil can to sell.

This Castrol is an excellent oil, there is no question, but if it had been written "Peugeot" and "Dacia" you certainly wouldn't have bought it.

In fact, as I said above, what matters is the manufacturer's standards and specifications, but it must be too complicated for many ...

Quickly tell us how your VFR works with your Aston Martin oil.

A+

Heuuuu, diesel oil in a motor bike?

this is not good for the gearbox and even less good for the clutch, there are anti friction additives in motor oils.

pkoi you did not buy oil simply motorcycle?

You did not follow, you. This oil is necessarily good because it is marked "Bugatti" and "Aston Martin" behind the can ...

... And by opting for a Yacco 10W-60, our friend Christophe would have had an oil for Maserati, Lotus, Alfa Romeo ... file: /// C: / Users / Oris / Downloads / galaxie-gt-10w60. pdf

It was good too, right?

For Aston Martin it was a touch of humor ... nothing to do with my purchase decision ... Finally ... : Cheesy:

Yes and I already answered you above ... so I looked for the manual and the technical review and here is precisely what Honda recommends as a drain OIL for a VFR 750 F:

a) Manual:

Image

Image

Honda's OFFICIAL user book therefore recommends oil quality (API SE minimum ...) but does not recommend exactly no oil grade, only recommendations of ranges according to the temperature of use.

Besides, I am amazed to see the 10W30 because as I just said when I tested a 5W30 the engine noise when warmed up (so index 30 that counts) was not cool at all!

You might even think that you can use monograde from this table ... I have never seen it on the shelves!

b) The ETAI technical review is a little more precise:

Image

Image

We must therefore put 10W40 oil in winter and 15W50 or 20W50 in summer ...

I have never seen the 20W50 ... I must be too young ...

I ride the Castrol 5W40 since I have this motorcycle, that is to say 11 years ...

I will certainly not put 10W60 oil in a modern car engine which is recommended for 5W30 or 0W30!

Yes, as soon as I drain!

Hello.


I have always been using quality "auto" oil ... what is motorcycle oil? Honda does not recommend "motorcycle" oil at all ... API SE is an auto standard, right?

I have almost 100 km on motorbike in auto oil ... without any particular concern ...

Personal since my hardwood bees from HONDA (600xlr and 500xrr) turn to the agricultural multifunctional 15w40 ... more distribution that jumps ... For the 1100 GPZ a 10W40 has advantageously replaced the synthesis ... When a machine like that runs on open road 1500km / year ... it's frankly a waste of meter of high-end oils when we know that we will go above 5000rpm 3 times 10 seconds in the season ... Personally I prefer to put an oil large distributor standards (a sf from carouf, lepaclerc or auchian ...) and drain more often (once a year) my motorcycles roll so much can ... By cons what can I pass as oil fork on my fleet of 6 bikes ... Maddening at the speed that it degrades ... but it's the same I will stop the bullshit of overpriced motocyst oil and go to dextron d2 for everyone. ..It's not the driving that I’m going to see any difference ...

The only thing safe in the future. It is that there may chance that it conforms to our expectations ...
