15w50 castrol

[Larry_M]

Castrol Power 1 4T in the 15W-50 viscosity is not available in North America. Here's Triumph's bulletin on that:

Ok, guess the three quarts of 10w40 I have in the garage will go in the car then. Nice find!

I don't know how important weight is but being a cautious general i think i will stick to 15W-50, just not to jinx anything

A lot of people mistake the number before the W as a winter rate instead of the minimum flow rate when the oil is at 210 degrees. In this case triumph is specifically looking for no less then a minimum 15 weight a 210 degrees not the thinner 10 weight .

Use any brand as long as it meets the specs, just changed mine withMobil1 4t 10/40

My dealer maintains that it must be 15/50 for warranty purposes. Tough to find.
