    Talking about oils... I used to work at Repco. The Repco branded oil is made by the same people as their Mobil oil. Just a different bottle. Ask the assistant, they won't deny it!

    For a Honda 250 what oil grade should be used? Also, if going for super long bike rides (500km/day) should a different grade of oil be used?

    THANKS

    Repco, or rather the conglomerate that owns it, tender for the oil contract to be branded under their own name. This varies depending on price, back handers and no doubt other devilish activities that will never be acknowledged...

    What ever is recommended for the Honda 250, in terms of grade and viscosity, is what should be used. Depending on the age of the bike, mileage etc, a synthetic would help to extend oil changes to a degree but there is nothing wrong with a good quality mineral oil.
