I changed my engine oil at 5k km on my own because the bike felt shit to drive, heating up too much + shitty mileage, my guess is that RE uses an improper grade or bad quality oil, i used the motul 10w50 fully synthetic oil, it's an immediate and huge improvement, mileage, heating, smoothness, clutch, everything improved, and I'm not even exaggerating.
Project farm did a bunch of tests on all popular oil brands and amsoil won followed closely by pennzoil ultra platinum. The pennzoil is easier to get so that’s what I use on all my cars.
Would be better to use a quality full synthetic instead. Motul 7100 is very popular but there are other options. I'm thinking about giving the Shell/Ducati oil a try.
I like running pennzoil euro platinum 5w40.
Well if you ride a dirtbike i might not reccomend it i use motul 7100 10w50 i belive it isnt rly expensive and its a good oil most of the local racers use it including me.
This is amazing . I have it in my 200 ns and it feels so smooth. There is 300v too but i never tried it . 7100 is best engine oil beside petronas if you can locate it anywhere
The Motul 7100 20W50 is a good choice.
I refused the engine oil change -as I had plans to go the motul 7100(10w40) route- but air filter needed to be changed and so will the brake pads within the next thousand kms as informed by the service guy. After the service, I could feel a difference in the top end, as in it reaches 110 quicker, but then again might be my imagination.
I've been running Pennzoil Ultra Platinum in mine for a while now, and it's done me well. Just hit 200k miles on the odometer last week, so no issues there. Run a good oil filter (I prefer Wix XP) and good oil and you're fine.
Pennzoil Platinum Euro Full Synthetic I've used the 5W-40 version for six years (EA888.3 engine). But any major brand full synthetic meeting VW 502 will be fine.
