Title: Engine oil
Post by: JezzaPeach on April 16, 2020, 08:22:48 AM

I was amazed at the cost of oil if you can find a local trade discount store, they are often much cheaper. I bought oil for my CB500/4 from DCS in Leatherhead (Surrey) and it was about half the price I expected to pay, plus it was the smaller amount I needed without the price being disproportionately high.

Hi Shifter. I can’t recall to be honest. I did look it up at the time but think it was 10W-40 which I would have looked up in the old handbook.

Was that just mineral or semi synthetic? Finding it harder to get mineral oil as reccomended in the day

These people have a good selection of both mineral and synthetic oils at reasonable prices.
