Tomchri Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 One thing for sure, we want the best for our bikes. Yes have been using Castrol, my 2013 S 1000 RR HP4, recommended Castrol Power 1 5~40. My Dynotech papers says NO Castrol for my 1999 1164 V 11…… 2022 Duc Multistrada, Shell oil on a sticker v visible. I think we be ok choosing top shelf oils mostly brands. Just my own simple solution, up to everyone. Wouldn’t like to see my oil pressure in Oodnadatta thees days. Cheers Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
