Topic: What10w-40 oil to buy

[dhall57]

Honda GN4 10w40. Problem solved. $18.75 for 3qts. $6.39 for OEM oil filter. $25.14 total for oil change. I can handle that. Sure I could save a few bucks by not buying this stuff from the near by Honda Dealer, but why. You know your getting the right stuff plus your giving the dealer a little business. This surely isn't rocket science

Don't get you panties ruffled!!!!..........Sheeeeeesh!!!!!! I've been using that google search button all week since it came out and have had 0 problems finding what I needed. I just now punched in "What oil should I use and saw at least 10 pages of info. I know we were all noobs before and we put up with the same stuff. It isn't like a hazing or anything!!!!

The unfortunate thing about oil threads is it's gettin' pretty hard to weed through all the threads that were flamed out like this one, versus the ones that actually give useful information. Just sayin'

"Useful information".  Now THAT'S funny!!!

I've been using castrol 20-50 since I bought the bike new in 1976. No problems.
I also use NAPA filters.

I use a different type of oil every time I change, always 10w 40, except in summer when I run 15 w 40, unless I cannot find it, then I run 20w 50.

Unless I have some 10w 40 around the shop, then I just use it, even if it is not a "different" type of oil.

So, I guess my original statement was more of a general concept, not a personal commitment.





BTW:

I re-polish my oil filter housing every time I change the oil.


I add a little Sea-Foam to the oil about 100 miles before I change it, unless I forget, or the mood to wrench & polish hits me and I just change the oil.

yea the search is kinda messed up. I ended up buying a gallon castrol t4 motorcycle oil, I'm sure its going to work just fine

Crude, then you can process it yourself and cut out the greedy middlemen.
