150 miles on sh*t oil

[RS2MATRIX]

My mate had this oil in a drum and hes got loads of it, so he said i can have an engine full for free so i went round and done an oil change as i was overdue.
So did it and went on a nice run, 200 miles or so and another 50 or so this morning, then i came home speaking to my mate on msn and mentioned that my clutch was acting a bit funny. I asked him what oil it was and he didnt know, so i presume its just shitty car stuff. Look and seemed really cheap tbh but never thought anything of it

So just ordered 4 litres of Castrol gps. I was at it quite hard in those 200 miles, ya reckon the shitty oil would have done any damage or anything adverse?
Moral: Dont use shite oil just because its free

You filled your bike with oil from a drum, you ride for 250 miles and then you ask what it is?

Your probably going to be the best one to tell that, do the oil change and see how the bike feels

Take it you have drained it already? Flush the castrol stuff through and you may get off lucky, although if your playing up....

Any oil is better than no oil, don't worry about it 200 miles is nothing.

theres a thread somwhere saying that the 400 kwaks doesn't like either fully or part synthetic oil as it make the clutches slip!

Sounds like thats what happening here!

It's probably the synthetic mixing with non-synthetic will be causing the problem.
You should stick with one or the other.
There's nothing wrong with using car oil in a bike, unless it's something very highly tuned.
Still should be the right grade though - but even that is not critical.

Probably was car oil.
My dl650 hates anything with car written on the bottle it makes the clutch slip like fuck. had to flush it twice last time i used car oil (made a post about it)


Only stuff shes happy with is Castrol Racing bike oil. Bike oil has a friction modifier added into it for wet cluches (whateva the feck that is)

Personally i just think my bike is a spoiled fussy bitch

I had a brand new zxr400, serviced from day one by the dealer. Always serviced on time and oil changed by them at each interval.

After 15k miles every rocker was worn and the cams twisted.

Why? Cause the silly bastids had been putting in the wrong grade of oil from day one, another dealer (based next to the racetrack so had plenty of 400 experience) told me they should only be run with synthetic race oil.

Thank God for the 2 year warranty

ill chuck anything into a bike, as has been stated better to have shit oil in there than nothing at all,
although the 400's are screamers, i always ran decent oil in mine,

i doubt any bad will come from it
