Gino Rondelli Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Sorry to bring up the dreaded subject of oil, I'm a bit confused as to which oil to use where in my 1100 Breva. I take it the Agip Racing 4T can be replaced with fully synthetic equivalent. Whats the recomendation for Gearbox & Carc, my old guzzi's use the same oil in each. been trawling the net but not finding any sense yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commando tod Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I`ve put a quality synthetic in both the carc and box, same oil in both. It doesn`t break down as quick as mineral stuff, and 1 litre is sufficient for both, so change it often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gino Rondelli Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Any type in particular? I take it you also have / had a Norton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuzziMoto Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I prefer Redline Shockproof in the gearbox and CARC. I have heard that the newer Guzzis do better with 10/60w but I run 20/50w. Brands are a touchy subject but I suggest either bike oil or diesel oil, no car oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonio carroccio Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 The same formule as for the V11: gear: 75/140 engine: mobil1 5w-50 100% synthetic CARC: 75/90 dunno exately is the oil for the CARC and for the gear is the synthetic one. Anyway the gear oil is a Castrol one. and the CARC Motul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commando tod Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Any type in particular? I take it you also have / had a Norton? redline shockproof in g/box and carc if you can get it. But even silkolene will do. And yes, I do have a `73 commando 850 interstate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slavomir Musilek (R.I.P.) Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 i run Catrol MTX 75w-140 in rear drive and Gbox, also friends with Brevas runs it. Easily available and running perfect. Generally, and GL-5 spec. sync. oil can be used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
