I'd use it in Paddy's bikes too.
There's nothing special about bike oil, and API-SL is way better than what your bike (or mine) was designed to run on.
The issue is with it being too good, and having wet clutch buggering E-Z-Slip friction reducers in it.
However, that's their budget semi, so it's not likely. Plenty of folk run their bikes on similar. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Isn't it the JASO-MA spec thing that it has to list to be suitable for wet-clutch bikes.
Had a problem getting oil from halfords a couple of years ago - ZX6 is wet clutched, went to buy their motorcycle oil and it didn't specify JASO, staff were clueless, ended up contacting the supplier Comma - who confirmed it was JASO compliant - just no one bothered to print it on the label
That being said i've always used their motorcycle oil 10w40 since and had no problems what so ever
For the extra 10 or so quid it'll cost to get the motorcycle specific oil from halfords personally i'd go with that to avoid the risk of any complications - maybe being a bit over cautious but on a 06 bike might as well keep it going smooth than take any chances id of thought  |
