Hello. I have searched but not got definitive answer. I also will say my RTP did not come with a manual.
So to stop any arguments etc. I want to change my engine oil and wondered what the manual says. Just the official line please. Not a view from oil technicians
Twin Cam 2014 ( last of TC’s).
Obviously I’m conscious about feedback about oil threads. So just looking for BMW company line on this if possible. Thanks
Oil - What does the book say please?

My ‘12 R1200R has the same engine and the book says “SAE 15W-50, API SJ / JASO MA2”

Found this at OnBuy.com, Castrol Power 1 Engine Oil 15W-50 4T, 4L, Castrol Power 1 Engine Oil 15W-50 4T, 4L on OnBuy
I bought some oil from OnBuy.com, next day delivery, the API is SN (better than SJ).
