Title: oil?
Post by: mrjlube on March 01, 2011, 04:24:53 AM

Hello all! Just a quick ? I have been using mobil 1 in my xciting and wanted to ask what would be best, 5w40 or 15w50? Thank you all for any advice you can give!

Depends on where you live and what are the typical low temps and high temps there right now? 

I'd be leaning toward the 5w40 if you're in a average climate.

I put 20 w 50 Lucas Synthetic in mine, specifically made for motorcycles.  I will never ride mine in under 50 degrees, so I thought this would be pretty good, according to my manual.
