    Oil specs listed by Triumph: "Semi or fully synthetic 10W40 or 15W50 Motorbike Oil which meets specification API SH (or higher) and meets JASO MA, such as Mobile 1 Racing 4T".




    Triumph also recommends Castrol Power 1 Racing 4T 10W/40 or 10W/50 (fully

    synthetic) engine oil, sold as Castrol Power RS Racing 4T 10W/40 or 10W/50 (fully synthetic) in some

    countries

    Fill quantity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.2 litres (oil and filter change). Always refer to the dipstick/filler plug markings for correct level

    These days I use Halfords own 5w40 fully synthetic bike engine oil (typical tight fisted Yorkshireman I am!:p) which comes in a 5ltr bottle at a similar price or less than other 'branded' oils in a 4ltr bottle. Never had any sort of problem with it.:cool:
    It is, according to a sales assistant at Halfords' Selby branch, made by Motul, so there should be no problems with quality or suitability. :)

    Nah .... some people are beyond redemption.:( Anyway, if Mr Smilinjack doesn't have the necessary physical attributes, i.e. short arms and deep pockets:eek:, how could he ever be turned into even the poorest likeness of a Yorkshireman?:) My old mum (Yorkshire born and bred) had a great philosophy - if someone wants to give you something, accept it and worry about what you are going to do with it later. Very wise, methinks!:)

    Meanwhile, I shall merely go on my merry way, happily enjoying the warm internal glow resulting from the joy of knowing that I've saved myself a few quid on the purchase of a necessary item designed to protect my P & J to the highest level. And yes, I have used genuine Motul, Motorex, Mobil, Silkolene, Shell and Castrol oils, and none seem any better than Halfords.

    I know other people will have different opinions to my own.:rolleyes: This I do not have a problem with.:cool: Let's face it, they have every right to be wrong!!:p:D
