[QUOTE="Mihalis fjr, post: 1350898, member: 28900"] From 1994 in my XTZ 750 Super Tenere i use 20w-50 Valvoline Durablend 4t semi synthetique all year,Summer/Winter.The engine has 260.000 km until now and it works and sounds like new! In my fjr from 2003 when i bought her brand new i use the same oil 20w-50 again all year,Summer/Winter.The engine sounds and works like brand new without any problem... [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] From about 5 Celsius/40F and above the 20w-50 works fine...Below of 40F, a 15-50/10-50/10-40 will work better...The problem is at cold starts when the oil try to pass from the small oil passages.The thinner oil ''10w-40/10w50/15w-50 will pass more easy from these holes to lubricate the metals,but this happens for about one minute +/-...When the engine is warm or and hot the 20w-50 will protect it better than a 10w-40...
