Hi everyone as I am relatively new to this forum have only 125 miles on my new CT125 I am preparing for my first oil change on the bike
I profess I do not know much about oil and have become totally confused about the different types so please forgive me for my ignorance.
Generally would use the manufacturers recommended oil . But they do not include the UK, or the Island just off the UK I live on.
I have been told to use 10W-40 rather than 10W-30 for climate reasons etc.
I also found it is difficult to decide on which type of oil, mineral , semi synthetic or full synthetic oil.
In my very humble opinion I am leaning towards a good semi synthetic oil 10w -40 for the first and rest of oil changes.
I would welcome and value any advice and experience you could give. Thanks
BTW loving the bike its the best thing since sliced bread!
