Engine oil

[BikerBoy]

Hi, I am about to change the oil for the first time.
Bike has nearly 1,000km on the clock.

was looking at going for the Mobile extra 4T semi synthetic oil.
Is this a good choice?
Bike isn't going to be going on any track days, mostly used for daily transport.

Cheers.

Hi, I have done a qute extensive research into the engine lubrication topic (work related) so please let me share few thoughts on this. Firstly the large majority of the modrn oils are quite good and any of them with a correct rating - CI-4 in this case and correct viscosity will really do a job. It is more a matter of personal preference and your suseptibility to the marketing hype. The critical component here is not the oil but the filter you are using. The best oil is not going to help when you circulating a soup in your engine. And believe me there are a lot of filters by the name but not the funcion. That includes the OEM versoins. I do not want to take too much space but if you are interested shoot me a message and I will e-mail you some very enlightening material.
Cheers.

Normal procedure would be to head on over to the "members introduction" section first and say hi to us all with a bit about yourself, but aside from that I'm interested in the info you can shed on the topic so feel free to shoot me a pm (obviosuly not going to give out my email to a 1 post member)

Cheers. BB
