I use Castrol GPS 10W-40 and have done for over 220,000 Honda V-twin miles (spread over 3 bikes).

The only thing is, engine oil is starting to get as expensive as petrol nowadays.

thank for that mate. I have been using good quality oil but it was not semi senthic ,do you have any clutch slipping with the semi senthic.

Cheers mate.

Not had any clutch slip with the Shell Advance VSX4 10w-40 semi-synth that I use in my '04 Transalp. Good stuff.

And a new filter always helps.

Never had a clutch slip on a bike yet, only ever used bike specific oil though.

I use Castrol GPS Semi sinthetic oil as purchased fron OPIE Oils and do not have a problem.

I am using Guardian Rock Oil 10W40 semi synthetic with a K&N oil filter.
Oil supplied from www.wemoto .com & the filter was bought on e-bay.
