The Great Oil Debate
Posted: Mon Mar 14, 2022 11:34 pm
What oil does anyone use when doing an oil change?
The "official" Motorrad Advantec Ultimate 5W-40?
I realize being a wet clutch bike, the correct oil is important! Can ANY? oil be used as long as it's JASO MA/MA2 compliant?
I've known some that have used the Shell oil pictured & it states it does meet the performance requirements of JASO MA/MA2,
but it is 25% the price of BMW oil - does that make it cheap? It's available in the US, but other places? don't know!
Thoughts anyone?
