    Hello folks, This may have been asked before ( but I cannot see any threads? ) but what engine oil do you guys recommend for an EFI Bonneville please ? I have seen MOTUL advertised as well as SILKOLENE and Castrol EDGE. Any real difference......?

    All you need to do is buy quality MOTORCYCLE engine oil with a JASO rating and a viscosity of 10-40.

    Miller. Good quality, great price, not paying all the advertising costs of the other brands. Ebay best prices usually.

    Thanks for the heads up Mr O, I'd never heard of Miller oils.

    Just had a look on fleabay and their ZFS 10-40 can be had for £25 for 4L while the Castrol 1 4T is £29 4L, £40 if you get it from Halfrauds!

    Something to consider when the next oil change is due.

    OPIE OILS - link to Ebay shop

    Website sometimes not the cheapest, but if you use their Ebay shop, usually free postage and often cheaper.
    Service is generally next day, in fact usually before 8:00 am !!!

    Just looked now, the're not the cheapest for Miller ZSS (semi) or ZSF (fully), but can be.

    i've used OPIE OILS in the past and the price is normally competitive,i'm sure in the past they offered clubs an extra discount. it might be worth enquiring for the forum?
