Engine oil RED LINE or Motorex
Redline 5w-30 with an OEM filter. No issues and smoother start up.
In my Shiver 750, Motul or Motorex every 3,500 miles were required to keep neutral findable when you want it and hidden when you don’t. False or impossible-to-find neutrals were a sign that it was time for an oil change.
Recently started using in my 2002 M3 and the oil runs cooler compared to the "twin power" oem oil i had been using.
Redline 10w30 full synthetic if I know I'm going to beat the piss out of it for the next 5k miles (think autocross or mountain runs), otherwise I use Honda 10w30 full synthetic.
I do not use auto oil. Motorcycles run hotter and I don’t trust car oil. I use Red Line. They sell a V-Twin kit that has engine oil primary oil and transmission oil, and fuel system cleaner. I buy one each spring.
Redline 5w30, the best
Use an oil designed for a wet clutch, like this [motorex 15w50]
If you can use Redline 5w30, go right ahead. You will not have an issue. I call Redline the guarantee oil. I can pretty much guarantee that you will never have the dreaded lifter tick. It has been known to quieten a ticking engine too.
It's recommended by Nissan to use ester based oil. I use redline 5w-30. Pricey but I feel the difference and motor runs flawless imo
I paid $90 bucks for a full oil change the first time, using motorex. now for my 2nd change, she's getting Rotella T6 because it's cheaper. I put on too many miles a month to shell out $90 bucks every 3k miles.
