Oil advice and recommendations here

Hmm, maybe a thicker oil perhaps a 10w-50 synthetic.

What oil have you been using?

10w40 semi-synthetic, the SV's wet clutch doesn't like fully synthetic oil, the torque makes it slip

What about my Daytona? Please

[oilman]

is shell advance fully synt any good

Its ok, not a true synthetic though. Its a hydrocracked mineral oil.

Cheers

Guy.

really,whats the difference ?

what about the rock oil xrp as thats been getting good reviews on race n track bikes

Dont know too much about the Rock oil.

Hydrocracked (chemical purification/convertion process)mineral oils are legally sold as synthetic in the uk, when really they are not a true synthetic as they are petroleum based (mineral). True synthetics are made from PAO (polyalphaoelfins), these are man constructed to do the job, where as the mineral base oils are converted to do the job.

10w-40 semi is fine, if you want better then 10w-40 synthetic.

Is there a massive difference between say Castrol GPS/other major brand 10/40 Semi and say Halfords own brand 10/40 Semi?

Thanks

[oilman]

The Castrol GPS 10w-40 is a good quality semi, the trouble with home brands is they are built to a very low cost, this does not mean the oil as such more the additives and polymors etc within the oil will be much lower quality.

Always best to stick to a reputale well known brand.

what's the best oil to use for a nice crispy chip/roast potato??
is there any difference between vegetable and sunflower???

[oilman]

is there any difference between vegetable and sunflower???

Yes.

But ground nut oil is best, can take a higher temp.

I love the smell of sesame seed oil.

I also love the smell of Napalm in the morning... Smells like victory.


Cheers for the advice before.
