C72 oil. Sorry?!

Post by Lockers » Sat Mar 31, 2018 4:44 am

Book says SAE30 for summer use.

I was thinking 20/50, but I'm open to expert advice.

And, sorry, I know... an oil thread!

I've used both 10/40 and 20/50 in my CB and CL77s, mostly depending on what's available.

I'm sure you will be fine with either, the important think I think being to change it regularly.

I aim for 1000 miles between changes but would change it more often if I was doing a lot of short rides rather than less often but longer trips.

There's been plenty of that. Everyone's just worn out.
