Check all your fluids ASAP. If any are low, top off as per the manual and monitor closely before you leave to make sure it's not leaking or consuming anything. Definitely bring extra oil, 1 or 2 quarts would be pleanty, and some paper towels and rubber gloves help too.
Should be fine, but CHECK THE OIL FREQUENTLY. This series of engines is notorious for oil consumption problems, which may not appear at all when doing short trips, but suddenly it's drinking 1qt or more per 1000 miles on the highway.
Take a quart of oil with, especially if you don't have reliable data on how much your engine burns. Check it occasionally and top off if needed.
I run the 5w-40 amsoil diesel oil in mine. No issues whatsoever.
My GT350 gets Amsoil. Had no issues with either one.
Using the same oil but 15W50 for Himalayan. Satisfied with the performance. Even after long rides, the engine feels crisp.
used Amsoil 5w20 last oil change and just did an oil change at ford with motorcraft due to my poor planning… typewriter tick is back with this oil. Didn’t have that at all with Amsoil.
Having recently transitioned from Motul 7100 to Amsoil Metric 10W40 for my Yamaha MT 15, for about 4000km I sought an oil that could deliver reliable engine protection and smooth operation. here are my pros and cons
As an avid amsoil user I am bought into the brand. Every product I have has made my equipment run better. I run a small farm and have amsoil in every fluid in all of my vehicles. If you are in the preferred deal it really isn't that much more expensive than regular oil.
My L5P doesn't tick with amsoil. My 5.3 you can't hear the lifters with amsoil. I have a 5.3 that has 300k on it and never had a motor problem with it and it has been pure amsoil since 35k miles.
After not being very impressed with Amsoil 5W-30 after a 5,000 mile oil analysis, I'm going to see how this stuff looks after 5K.
