Castrol 4t most people use. Non-synthetic.

I used sheel active 4t or some crap like that.

About 800-900ml it should hold.


Read this:

Your going to be in need of help when you get your new bike so take a look at these threads (This is a basic thing to what you should do to your bike once you get it):

First thing you do to the engine is drop the shipping oil and put in some new stuff:
- Shell Advance 4T Motorbike Oil - 15W-40, 1 Litre - Supercheap Auto
- Castrol Activ 4T Motorbike Oil - 15W-50, 1 Litre - Supercheap Auto

Then check your valves... VERY IMPORTANT!!:

As Bully said, Castrol 4T is the most commonly used oil and you can get it fairly cheap at Supercheap Auto, Repco, AutoBarn etc.

Get some pics up!
 
just dont put normal car engine oil in it like i was told and did! Sure learnt the hard way huh!!
 
So I have SAE 10W-40 4T for synthetic for their running my 110 pit bike ssr
