Hi all,

does anyone have a recommendation for the Oil. I actually run thick oil in the engine and in the gearbox but as it is a synthetic oil all metal parts in the oil are kept in balance and are not sinking to the ground as I have expected it. As my bike has no oil filter I guess this is not how it is mend to be.
Maybe someone has good experience with a dedicated oil.

Thanks a lot
Phillip

Hi Phillip...Assuming you have an M20, run a straight SAE 40 in the engine, gearbox and primary drive...

Synthetics are not really suitable (and expensive)...Ian

Thanks,

just found this kind of Oil, looks very prommising. GB made (ERWINOL)
I will try this one. Says no additives and suitable for Oldtimers Pre war.

That seems a bit odd. An English made oil but website is based in Germany.
My recommendation would be Silkolene Chatsworth 40. Super stuff.

OIL always change it even if you thought you had, do it again , and at least every 750 miles and or once a year, use single grade oil,50 grade summer 40 grade winter unless its very cold where you are its 30, but who rides classic bikes at minus ten, ? never multigrade or synthetic, nuff said, Andrew.h.

I always use Castrol GP50 in my Norton. Use it in engine, gearbox and chaincase.
