Re: elf oil?

[Erik Miner <axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

An Oil thread!  I've been using Motul 5100 15-50wt  it's a Semi Synth 
I change it every 2-2500k
it cost a bit less than half of the Mobil 1, And I don't feel as 
though I'm giving up anything. It's also rated JASO MA that's the new 
bike rating.

Erik

PS: My owners manual calls for either full or semi synth. But a 
15-40wt, I've never seen that!
