oil
« on: July 22, 2019, 07:41:22 PM »
Can anyone tell me if using semi synth oil in my F1 will cause clutch slip or should I try obtain 10/40 mineral oil which seems to be a rare commodity apart from obtaining on the internet.
thanks for any replies.

10w40 or 15w40 (depending on the spec of oil). Mineral for running in 500 miles, then semi synthetic after that. From the Tea girl of a current professional engine builder of SOHC/4 Hondas 🤣🤣🤣🤣
