Motorcycle Forum / General / Yamaha / August 2008Oil Weight
I just purchased a 95 FZR 600. I thought I ordered the recommended 20W/40 but received 20W/50. Any disadvantages to using the 20W/50? >I just purchased a 95 FZR 600.

Hi 20W/50 is ok for overhead valve engines,OHC bike engines need 10w/40 in normal climates. 20W/50 is thicker at cold temps and the cams can be starved of oil on cold starts. Hope this helps >I just purchased a 95 FZR 600. I thought I ordered the recommended > 20W/40 but received 20W/50. Any disadvantages to using the 20W/50? |
