What engine oil?

[anf355]

Hi everyone,i cant seem to find anything about oil recommendations. i just purchased a pitpro 140xr today, after i run the engine in i want to change the oil, what does everyone use, synthetic/mineral and what viscosity? I would ask at the bike shop but they would have a bias recommendation and prob not have much experience with these bikes.
thanks
Anthony

oil recommendation: 10w40 semi-synthetic

 

[ducar.r.spec]

10w40 motul 5100
dont use the oil thats in the engine its not even oil its a solution to stop the insides of the engine rusting when its in the warehouse

i use motul 20w50 mineral based and its seems to be going great

 

[i_just_stacked_101]

i use fully synthetic oil i heard its alot better

 

[ducar.r.spec]

i use fully synthetic oil i heard its alot better

it isnt much diff to semi sythetic
i use synforce 10w40 semi synthetic only because its australian made

motul 5100 (10w-40) semi synthetic . Don't use fully synthetic because it can cause your clutch to slip

 

[scuba_steve86]

ive been told to use 20w 50 and its a mineral oil apprarently fully synthetic oils can cause your motor 2 have problems

what oil would be best for a crf50

 

[whos the boss]

use fully synthetic, just make sure u get a oil meant for a motor bike not a car as the car oils have additives that make ur clutch slip

I am using the GN4 Engine oil its a 10-40w is that any good for a crf50 or should i be using somthing else

hey guys i am also goin to be getting a pitpro140XR soon and just wondering what should i do straight of the box, \ run the engine in on the oil in it then change to????? or straight up change the oil for a thin oil for run in ?

 

[Hollis]

???? it should be pritty thing for the run in time shouldnt it? iu dont realy know what kind or type

 

[agressive1]

Use mineral oil, get about 4litres of it, and on first tank full chnage it half way through tank and then rest of them change every tank.

So dont run the stock oil in it.

 

[Sidney]

change oil every tank?


i dont think so

 

[agressive1]

Well then Sidney what do you do on run in?

Is it bad that i changed my oil every half tanks and then some full tanks?

I dont think it is im making sure the engine is nice and fresh with clean oil.

 

[Hollis]

haha , so do i change to mineral oil straight away? ddont evan start the bike with that oil that is in it?

 

[agressive1]

Yer go and buy a few litres of mineral oil, i think its 20w50.

 

[Hollis]

20 - 50 ! isnt that abit think for the run in ??

10W-40
