Guys you may have read some of my posts on here about the engine change I done. I genuinely think my problems started when I changed the oil to 10w40!! I had bottom end failure resulting in a very expensive new engine fix. I have spoken to a few mechanics about it and they agree. I ride bikes hard as I'm sure many of you do.
I looked on here and seen lots of people were using 10w40 so I thought that will do me as 15w50 is expensive, £50. How wrong was I!! I was ****** mad with myself for scrimping on something like this but what's done is done.
Take what you want from this but if it says 15w50 in the book it's probably for a reason. People say that it's for hotter climates and stuff but I say bollox. Use 15w50 lads
