Engine oil MOTUL or OEM FORD
Think the last oil change I did was with Motul 7-series (fully synthetic) 10w40 because central Italy gets HOT
I've recently switched to Motul because the Castrol pouring spouts seem to have gone away and Motul's also become more available.
I've put whatever motul 10w40 semi I can get cheapest into my blackbird every 10k miles for the last 140k and it's fine.
In Florida, I use Motul 300v 5w30 for track days and tuning. Otherwise I run motul 8100 (5w30) if I know i'm not going to drive the car hard for awhile. I change the oil pretty regularly because it's a simple insurance. Always send the oil into blackstone to test.
Take it from someone who's owned a gen1 since new. Motul300v full stop is the good shit. 200% worth the cost.
motul 5100 here in thailand is recommended.
Motul 300V is top-tier, smooth, cool, and clean, but pricey. Great if you ride hard.
I have been consistently using **Motul 10W40** engine oil in my Yamaha R15 V3 for approximately **20,000 kilometers**, with oil changes performed every **3,000 to 3,500 kilometers**. In my experience, **Motul has outperformed Yamalube** in both **overall engine performance and gear shifting smoothness**.
8100 X-Clean EFE is what I ran, but yeah, it doesn't really matter
I won't recommend Motul for Gixxer 250
10w-50 7100 makes the engine run a little hot and refinement goes for a toss (Personal Experience) even Gixxer riders group agreed on this one and it is not even as good as Ecstar oil used in the showroom.
