Oil..one last time



Ok I promise this is the last time I'll mention this, promise. Anyway after 
a little more digging like reading the owners manual (again)Triumph 
recommends 15-40wt full synthetic (Mobile 1) Anyway I've got to assume that 
the Triumph branded Mobil 1 the dealer sells is 15-40wt not 15-50wt I mean 
why would Triumph recommend a 15-40wt and then pay Mobil to blend and 
bottle a 15-50wt??  Anyway I've decided based on the owners manual 
recommendation to use Mobil 1 MX-4T 10-40wt  I can buy the MX 4T  from a 
local distributor ( Van Sant Equipment 800-872-5797 ask for Mike Fren) for 
$42.78 a case (6qts) That's almost half what the Triumph dealer want's for 
the Triumph 4ltr jug. I  also found on changing my oil that if I fill the 
engine with 4qts that the oil level is just a tick below the max line on 
the sight glass.
