cg 125 oil

[crackpotterpi...]

just trying to get some opinions on to use fully synthetic oil or not when changing the oil...............I think the recommended oil grade is 10w40 but have seen some info about using fully synthetic 5w40 all opinions wanted..........thanks
forgot to add its a 2003 electric start model if this makes any difference

It is my opinion that the grade of oil you use in a CG will never make that much of a difference. I've used the cheapest oil imaginable before now and as long as you have no leaks and it's changed at reasonable intervals (really good is every 1k miles, sensible is 1.5k miles and maximum is about 2k I would say) then you're going to be fine

It's a CG. They are indestructible

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

Any old 10w40 from morrisons petrol station will do.

you can even buy engine oil in Asda now!! ... really cheap
that will do for a CG if you do regular changes..

word of warning, I bought a litre of texaco oil, riding back from work the next day my clutch started slipping(my KH125), i just use castrol gtx 10w40, apparently has a reputation for causing clutch slip, but i'm on my third oil change and it hasn't started slipping(xj600).
