In the haynes manuel for my honda CG110, it recomends the use of 10w40 class SE or SF, now is it alright to use for example class SJ? I have just rebuilt the motor about 500km ago, so it's just run in.
SJ is designed for cars 1997+ it says in this magizene, and SE is from 1971-1979, and SF is from 1980-1988. It's an old manuel from the 80's so maybe they didn't know about SJ oil then.
Surley a newer oil would be better right? Or should I use the older oil?
The dude at BNT said I had to use special motorbike oil or it causes the wet clutch to slip.... Is this true?
Cheers,
Sam
