As the title states, I've recently purchased an old 2010 VFR1200 with dct (14k miles) for some 2 up rides along the coastal highway/mountain passes.
This bike has a hefty sized sump (4.0 liters) plus two oil filters (one is for the DCT alone).
Since I have an old 88 BMW 3 series that also takes Rotella T4 15w40, is there any problem with running this in the Honda that's spec'd for 10w30?
I obviously plan on only running the bike in summer, so the higher temps would be suitable for the 15w40.
your thoughts are appreciated.
