[QUOTE="radman, post: 413, member: 167"] Red cap has changed, but not the juice. Not really. There are 2 M1 oils that should be fine, the 15w50 as always, and now the 5w40 for diesel engines. Diesel oil does not have the friction modifiers (Energy Conserving Label) that spells death to a wet clutch, and as a result, any of the diesel lubes will work nicely in the Feej. I personally use the RotellaT Syn/STP combo, with much success, as do many here. edit-and I should add I do like the lower cold weight, as it will flow quicker cold and as a result lube a cold motor faster, always a concern. Only synthetics can have that wide a spread in viscocity (5-40, 15-50 etc) without the ring sticking problems asscociated with wide spread oils (dino 10w40 for one) that was found soon after it's introduction in the 70's.
