    Folks, I'm in France again, and I could really do with an oil change. My Power1 is 4500 rough hot miles old at first it didn't need any topping up, up to 3000k with very little discernable loss.. Still hitting the top mark on the stick. Another few hundred and it needed some now I'm having to keep an eye. Its still nothing heavy it's still on the top mark after a 700 mile on hit blast of a ride. But I want clean new oil.

    Got my Honda filter and washer... But can't get any Castol. All they have is Motul fully synth every where I go. Never use fully synthetic and not a motul Fan ..as my otherwise perfect 9R used to burn it a little when it didn't power1 ...

    Anyone got any suggestions are my concerns for Motul and fully synth unfounded in the blade? Other bikes I've had suffered clutch issues on similar oil..mind you they were older tech engines perhaps my concerns are just out of date lol

    Have always used full synthetic and never had a problem, usually castrol power 1 racing but will be looking at silkolene or motul next time
