hondatri:
 What oil should I use in my 77 400/4  I know 10/40 but what bout synthetics and Semi Synthetics,

Nurse Julie:
Mineral or semi synthetic. Definitely not fully synthetic, unless you want chronic clutch slip permanently.

Seabeowner:
Oil Thread Alert!
There are fully synthetic oils that are supposed to be suitable for wet clutches, but maybe not 1975 clutches. And no doubt £££. And wasted on 50 year old technology.
Oil to spec JASO MA. Anyone used it?

kevski:
I have it in my 350F and have no problems and i drive pretty hard,  but my Z thou i run on semi as it has roller bearings in the crank and fully synthetic is known to make rollers skid damaging them.

ka-ja:
I run my 460 yoshi on full synthetic oil with no problems, just have heavy clutch springs to handle the extra power.
