    ..Just wondered what my fellow 955i owners were using in their engines, and why?

    As spec'd... Full or Semi synthetic 15W/40 as in the Triumph Owners handbook?

    Thanks

    Hi Daniel the recommended oil is Semi synthetic 15W/40, I ran a Speed Triple 955i a few years back on the semi and never had any issues at all, I always used genuine Triumph oil filters though.

    Thank you @Iceman. I went with the 10W as it is still in the manual as an "either / or"... And I liked the fact this said ideal for wet clutches...

    Do you think I may have problems...?

    All this is because I used to get my oil from Hughenden Triumph...and they gave me (sold me) some in my own can...but I always forgot to ask what it actually was!

    Hi you will have no issues whatsoever, remember to use a new sump plug washer as well, and don't overtighten, a friend of mine did just that and cracked the sump, so I had to replace it for him with a S/H one of e bay.
