[QUOTE="JimV, post: 134, member: 87"] First off, I don't want to debate the merits of any particular brand of oil or whether or not all synthetic oils are *better* the dino blends. However, I am new at this oil thing since my last two bikes took the more common 10W-40 rather than the somewhat uncommon 20W-40 spec'ed for the FJR. So, assuming that I've read everything on the subject and still decided to put in a pure synthetic oil, what is the proper weight to replace the 20W-40 with assuming that there is no equivalent pure syn? I'm assuming that any non-friction modified, API SJ rated oil with xW-40 where x >= 20 is good, right? Thanks, Jim [/QUOTE]
