Recommended Oil Type for 04' GasGas 450FSE?
Manual says 10W-50 or 20W-50 if 10W is not avaliable. Any suggestions?

Shell Rotella 15w40 - actually rated for diesels. Sold in gallon jugs at walmart or schucks. Delo 15w40 used to be my favorite in four strokes until they reformulated and added moly to it (bad for wet clutch).
Rotella has a great additive package, excellent base stock. It is relatively inexpensive and can be changed often without hitting the pocketbook too hard. Check out bobistheoilguy.com for more info - they have a motorcycle section there. You will want to avoid automobile oils with the energy efficiency emblem on them - they have moly additive and can lead to clutch slippage. jeff Last edited by jeffd; 06-16-2007 at 06:25 PM. |

I use Rotella T 15w40 also. Works well and the price is great.
