Are there any other more affordable options out there without worrying about clutch slippage? Any of you guys using BMW synthetic15W50 or Golden Spectro 10W40 semi-synthetic?
 
I use 4T, you can buy it at WalMart now.

Also... do a search on "Oil" and you will find a lot of opinions and info.
 
I am well aware talking about oil types is a surefire way of ticking off the forum old hands.

Don't know if its finger trouble at my end but when I done a search using "oil" I drew a blank
 
Here are some results.

No problems with oil threads. I learn something new every time.

My personal opinion: whatever oil you use, make sure it motorcycle specific; and if in the name of saving a few bucks on one or two oil changes a year you are going to use something other than the recommended oil it's not worth it.
 
I agree

Stay with the Mobile 4t,
The bike was designed around it. Saving a few bucks a year isn’t worth possible trouble down the road. Wall-mart sells it bye me for a LITTLE cheaper than the dealer.
 
Got some Mobil 1 4T at Autozone today.

The one hundred mile round trip to the nearest Triumph didn't hold much appeal with it being 30degf and snowing.

Thanks for all your assistance

Oil threads don't offend anybody.., it just that we already have a bunch of them so maybe the info you seek will be in one of those. If not, you could resurrect one of the existing threads. Having 27 oil threads won't help anyone... but if we must :bch:

Plus... I guess I did sound a little rude there didn't I?? Sorry, I shouldn't post at 7 am..
