Hi all. What viscocity oil do you think is best in my 2007 Factory. I know the manual says 15w/50, but I ran my Ducati on 10w/40 for all the 4 years that I owned it and the engines aren't all that different really! (apart from those bloody cam belts!). Also, I guess semi synth is best cos of the wet clutch. Usage is mainly fast-ish road use
I ran a Futura some years ago, but I can't remember what I put in that. :banghead
 
I use 10/40 semi in mine & its fine. Its a personal thing & many will stick to what the book says, but many have also gone the same way as me.
 
10/40 semi fir me. I was told by Griff that it's the oil/grade fir our dire climate.
 
I use Mobil 1 'Racing' (lol) 15-50w fully synth. It's the cheapest group IV oil I've found.
Last buy 4ltrs delivered about £35....google Opie Oils for a reasonable price.

Agree 10-40w perfect for UK use, but the price difference is so small, I just use the 15-50w now....
Anyways, you 10-40w lot will be sorry when you need to nip out to Morocco for a morning coffee or pop across the odd arctic tundra . :)
