4stroke oil

What oil are you guys using in your bikes? Looking for a good cheap one, change it regulaly so doesn't need to be top of the range.

Don't want this to turn in to a 2t vs 4t thread it's boring

if your changing it quite often, my mate used to get his from repco cant remember the brand but it came in a 4L and i think it was about $70

Using manufacturer's recommended. A tad expensive but it's all the bike has ever known.

That's real helpful. So just go in and ask for a 4L that costs $70??

I use Motul for all my bikes, road and off-road. It's what my local mechanic shop uses so have just stuck with it.

I use yamalube 4R 10w-50.good shit about $80 for 4litres, otherwise there is a castrol one from repco similar price -$20 a litre seems pretty standard cant remember 4T racing or something.

The yanks on thumpertalk swear by this stuff called Shell Rotella 10w40 diesel oil. How much is the Delo for 4 ltrs?

**Taz** · 18th July 2009, 12:14

Comes in a 5 litre pack have paid between 30-40 bucks for it depending on who has the special at the time.

Bought some elf 4T oil off Barty that he said you were using too... Is that working out too expensive? How often are you changing your oil Rupe?
