Oil Viscosity UK

[John Ward]

Hi all..
Looking in the triumph manual and recommendations on oil are 10W/40 or 15W/50. Are either of these fine for UK riding, as ive found 6 liters of Motul5100 synthetic oil and Filter for £57.50 here in the Uk and was considering purchasing it. What oils do other UK riders use? Is 10W/40 better for our climate or is 15W/50 fine?

Either is fine to use.

Where have you found it at that price mate?

I use 10/40 Mobile 1 or Amsoil and live in a similar climate, no issues as far as I can tell. Any premium full synthetic should be fine as long as it’s rated 4T.

The 5100 is a nice synthetic blend 3100V is a full synthetic.
