  • oil ?

    Is there a significant difference between auto oil and bike oil ?.. I don't need specs on them .. just need to know if i can run auto in the bike or not .. thanx..

    30 bucks a gallon is a bit much ..

    I run Chevron Delo in daily ride. The 15w-40w for diesel engines. The BIG thing to look for is the circle with the SF/SE in the top half. There can be NOTHING in the bottom half. This is for "friction modifiers", and they WILL cause the clutch to slip!
