Hey guys~
I'm due for an oil change but I'm not sure what oil to use. I've read up on previous posts concerning oil, but didn't find anything about cold weather. It seems the Castrol GTX is a good oil to run in the DS, but what weight do I need? Temperatures for the winter will range from +50 F to -20 F. Is there something other than the Castrol I should be looking at? I have been using Torco 10w40 but am looking for something a little cheaper(hey, I'm a poor college student[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]). Thanks for any replies.

 

royal purple synthetic is what I ran in my 650 before I sold it I live in Minnesota
then I ran it in my raptor 80 that I had for only the winter last year and I am gonna run it this year on the mojave unless someone buys it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] If you ever wanna set something like a group ride up tell me I am going to the gilbert ohv park this saturday with scooter

 

I dig Honda oil... Use it in Honda's and Ducatis

 

somethin in some sharp cheddar perhaps??

I use Rotella 5w40 Sinthetic Diesel Oil, its cheap and works great, it has no friction modifiers....

 

I would have agreed with the sharp chedder when I had the machine 4 years ago, but I'm more of a mozzarella guy today.

 

Some good ole Shell Rotella T-40 should do the trick during the winter time. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
