Answer
Hi Roger,

Sorry for the delay in responding. I had PC problems the past three days.

I prefer Mobil 1 100% synthetic oil for my car and truck.

You must use a special synthetic oil for a motorcycle. Use Honda, FRAM, or other major brand oil filter.

Otherwise, select a namebrand 10w30 or 10w40 oil with the latest API/SAE starburst label rating.

Respectfully,
