Are the filters they give you any good? Are they to be trusted?

I've never had to deal with oil filters before and this looks like a crappy generic non brand one...

Also is Motul 5100 a good oil?

Cheers,

T

Cheers, £23 for 5 litres of oil and an oil filter isn't bad (They didn't have an air filter in for me)

Yep, replace as required.

Motul 5100 is Semi Synth isn't it? I've only ever used FS before :/

Something to grip on to while you tighten it up and take it off later ? Confused

Sounds like it may have fallen off the oil filter, it needs to be actually on the filter as you oil it and put it on.

If it is a perfect circle, black and quite thick it is probably off the filter.

Thumbs Up

Nah it's massive, it'll wrap round the filter about 3 times plus the filter is a push on one so it's not to screw it in with.

It looks like the band on the floor here: (Could it be a gasket for the oil filter cover?)

I don't think 4 strokes require Fully synth, something to do with clutch slip I believe.

Fully synth intended for bikes does not cause clutch slip. However an 8 valve GS500 will be A-OK on semi synth.


Or Asda mineral car oil Rolling Eyes

FYI modern bikes can run on full synth. Especially true of any sports bikes. Older stuff (older design engines) are best run on semi-synth, it's a more of an all rounder if that makes sense. There's usually a recommendation from the bike maker anyhow (see the user manual).

So called mineral oil (it doesn't contain any nowadays) is reserved for old/ancient stuff. Don't buy this unless you know what bike it's going into.

Thanks for the info. Does that mean my Bandit 600, which is based on a nearly 20 year old engine would still have to run on semi-synth?

£25 gets you 5 litres of oil and free filters, usually making the oil cost about £5 after you have taken away the prices of filters.

Great deal in my opinion.

Is this a short term thing or a regular shizzle?

I could do with changing the oil, but it'll have to wait until pay day.
