it seems that getting my hands on 10w-40 oil non-synth is almost impossible....what should i use instead?
no car oil
everything bike oil is synth....
should i use the bike synth? keep in mind this my first oil change
I would use conventional one more time but im sure it wouldnt hurt. i went straight to syn on my wifes car after the first oil change. like i mentioned take a look at one of your parts stores, autozone etc. im sure theyll have some
553 miles....i've been advised not to use synth until the second oil change to unsure proper engine break in
Read the rest of the posts. . . He's in Trinidad. If he says he's looked all over the place I would imagine whatever auto parts stores are there, he's checked.
Your advision is right about doing one oil change with conventional before switching. It MIGHT not hurt it to use regular auto oil in it for one change, but a friend of mine used regular oil in his and said the clutch didn't feel right the whole time he had the auto oil in it. He said it was slipping and the lever just felt weird.
You could do half and half, regular and synthetic. Contrary to what a lot of people think, the two CAN be mixed.
