Oil

Post by MCboston »

My 1992 R100GS has been running on Castrol 4T 20W-50. I do not see any reason to change this.
Opinions please!

In my opinion, MCboston is trying to start an oil-thread :shock:

It's your bike and you can use whatever oil you like.

Do what your owner's manual says for circa 1992 bikes.

I will be one to recommend changing your oil -
at regular intervals as prescribed by the factory manual.

Filter, too !

There's always the oldie but goodie - clean oil is better than dirty oil and dirty oil is better than no oil!

Absolutely nothing wrong with Castrol 20/50, my '87 ran on it for 90,000km.
Then it blew up. :lol:
Then I changed to Belray semi-synthetic 20/50.
I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.
