What oil to choose

[Maniek]

Hello
I have a question for you I bought a Honda Valkyrie F6C 2014 year, mileage 1000mil.
What oil do you recommend for this engine.
Oils available in Poland are:
- Motul 300V 10w40
- Motul 7100 10W40
- Motul 7100 10W30
- AMSOIL 10W30 MCT
- AMSOIL 10W40 MCF
- BelRay 10W40
- ENEOS MAX Performance 10W40
- SHELL ADVANCE 4T 10W40 AX-7


Greetings from Poland

What does your owner's manual give as requirements? That is a lot more important than brand.

Here in the states, Honda recommended 10w40. Any of those will work just fine..

10W30

Recommended Engine Oil:
Pro Honda GN4 4 stroke oil (USA and Canada) or equivalent motorcycle oil.
API service classification: SG or Higher (except oils labeled as energy conserving on the circular API service label)
JASO T 903 standard: MA
Viscosity: SAE 10W-30

I would use the least expensive one that has actual JASO MA approval.

Yes, it's basically a Goldwing sans bodywork.

As for which oil you should use OP, that's up to you.

I will say that I use Motul 300V 4T in all of our sportbikes. I've tried most of the oil out there, but that 300v 4T just seems to let the bikes run and shift their best.

This is important.

Any of the oils you list will meet and exceed your mileage expectations ... only the
freer flowing 30 grade will lower your engines operating temp and free up HP...

Completely ignore the absolutely irrelevant information posted above.

Every option in the first post are good options. I wouldn't go above a 10w-40 myself.

Why they don't like AMSOIL in the USA

What?

 

[Maniek]

As I read forums about oil, they call AMSOIL SCAMSOIL

I wanted to pour oil

So you're just a troll then. I got suspicious when no one had mentioned Amsoil but you brought it up

You beat me to it.
