so i went looking for oil today but when i got to walmart i couldnt decide if i wanted to get the auto oil or the 4 stroke motorcycle oil. The motorcycle specific oil is like $3 more a qt. and i didn't wanna spend $15+ buck on just oil. I searched on here and some people use auto oil and it seems fine, some dont. I know since bikes have wet clutches and all that may affect which oil to use, what should i do?
Uhh.. if you searched, then you should know already. You will never, NEVER, NEVER EVER get a definitive answer. There will always be dissenting opinions. In the end, do what you feel is right. I personally use regular old motor oil. Just my $.02
People like to argue about nothing. For a motor the vintage of the GS just go to Costco and buy a case of the cheapest 10-40W.
srinath would add his walmart .02....errrr $0.99 a quart cheap as$ed walmart oil comment soon enough
loaded question.....50% MC / 50% AUTO
10-40 or 20-50 is fine
if you want to spend more $...spend more $
some have advanced friction modifiers.....blah blah blah
don't use the 5-30 or 10-30...designed for todays smaller hard working engine.....
the modifiers in that WILL make your clutch slip
been there, done that, didn't like it
w2
You guys put oil in the bike ???

I hope you know im kidding... I use good old 10W40 :thumb:
