Morning/Evening,
I want to change the oil on my FZ6-S (600) and it is the first time I'm doing this. Simple question really, any suggestions on the best oil to use. The manual says either SAE10W30 or 20W40, which I get. The bit that confuses me is that it states API grade SE, SF, SG but the the oil in the local shop is SL. When looking online it suggests that SE, SF, & SG is only for much older vehicles, whereas my bike is 2004. This grading online mostly seems to relate to cars so I'm not sure if it is very different for bikes. My local store has Castrol 1 Racing 4T Fully Synthetic SL. Is this going to be OK?.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Paul
