Would this oil be ok for my xl600?
I was going to use Castrol GPS semi synthetic But that's a great price

Ok confused now when I got the TA the guy, who was also a mechanic, said stick in the castrol semi synthetic now it looks like that honda are saying mineral is ok, tenner saving. Isit worth it or is the smi-sythetic providing etra protection......

I need it simple one oil which one

mineral oil or semi synthetic

from metamorph67 - Alba, thanks heaps for doing all that legwork for my thread, and very useful links to Halfords & David Silver, much appreciated by me and everyone i would of thought, its a pity Halfords don't pull their finger out and stock more everyday goods for bikers! Cheers

Ok I've been getting carried away with the oil selection !!!!

The first article on oil, here blew me away then I came across a simplified version which got me back on track. Then I found an post in horizons which was very interesting.

This is worse than the wife choosing a pudding, , the mineral oil has a higher API rating than the manual requirement and has a (older) JASO spec which is not mentioned in the manual.

Mineral oil has my vote plus I need to get a couple of other supplies from DS.

I hope the links are of interest to you.....

Alba,You've certainly outdone all of our expectations, now no one has an excuse not to get fully informed about the important properties of oil and where to get the right one, mind you i'm wondering if i'm more confused now about oil than ever, your final post should include the definitive oil, the choice will be yours and we will follow!
