5w 40 full synthetic

[skyhip]

Is it ok to run 5W40 in the summer heat here in Memphis 10 where temps get around a 100 degrees. And if so what brands are you guys and girls running in smiliar weather. Feed Back Please

 

[roadthing]

Shouldn't hurt a thing. How about trying Mobil-1 10W40?

BTW: You probably stirred up another oil war!

 

[aussiekeeper]

Yes, it is ok......However, the wider the range between the low and high number, the less stable the oil as far as shear strength. Sooo, you COULD use it, but I would use 10-40.

I feel ya bro, I live over in Little Rock and all the riders recommend 10-40 year round. I have also been told not to use full synth until the bike has at least 8-10 k on it.

Thanks for info, I got worried because I just used castrol f4 on yesterdays 5K mile change. And it seemed like after a trip around the block and back to check for leaks that the oil had got pretty dark in the glass. I do not remember it getting that dark that quick on last change useing 10wW40 suzuki full synthetic. Thanks again for feedback

Amsoil 10w-40 is your friend.

Off topic a little. I was thinking about riding up tomorrow and enjoy some BBQ by the river. I believe the cook off part of Memphis in May is this weekend? I am up that way a good bit since I have family in Collierville maybe we could get together one trip and ride.

I think that waiting more than normal break-in to use synthetic oil is unnecessary.

Some would say it is ok from day one. I'm still a little old fashioned on that, if Suzuki supplies it with dyno oil, I figure I should get it through break-in first.

Anyone here have a more educated response than mine on this subject?

No education, but Corvette's come from the factory with synthetic. And the only time I've heard real reasoning behind engine break-in, it was stated that 90% of the break-in is done in the first 50 miles.

But then there are the people who won't run anything but the 'Zuki branded oil, so...

Personally, I make sure the engine is broken in as much as possible, (ie, twist the throttle), and then put in synth at the 500 change. Royal Purple 5-W30.
