As stated i'm looking for a temporary oil for my bike, it wont be ridden with, it's just to start the bike every week or two for the next 6-12 months while i wait to get my bike L's. I had a read of the diesel oil thread and like the idea of giving the internals a good clean, but dont want to hurt the clutch plates or suffer any other consequences of using the wrong oil. So was hoping someone could shed some light on this, also i'm a complete cheapskate so keep that in mind. Cheers
The Penrite motorbike oils are good and not too expensive... Otherwise you can get the Delo 400 multigrade oil (not just for diesel) in 20l drums like we did for $114 (greyimport, Linkin & myself) which is brilliant....
No specific needs but the thicker the oil, the better it will be in hot temperatures. 10w40 is pretty standard though. Thicker oil is harder to start in the cold
Not really as your only starting occasionally and not doing a lot of miles. However, the higher quality oils tend to last longer too in a static state. If your riding, the semi synthetic, and synthetics are the better oils, but it also depends on how often you change it as well.... So in general... go for the better semi synth, and synth... (however fully synths cost more).
Ok cool, thanks guys thats all i needed to know, i'll go down to supercheap and see what i can find. Also mods feel free to delete this thread if you want, i wont be asking any more questions. Thank you
