Which oil

Which is the best oil to use in my RR6 2006.
Been looking at castrol but not sure which one is best. 10w 30 or 10w 40

 

I put castrol 10w 30 fully synthetic In my RR7 every 4000 miles plus oem filter, halfords had a deal on oil last year . Never had any problems with it

 

OK thanks very much mate

 

I use Motul 300V

 

I've been using 10w40 fully synthetic in my RR6, with no problems. Been doing a bit of research on this myself as need to do a oil/filter change at some point. Seems people on different forums have been favouring Castrol Power, Shell Advanced and Motul 7100.
Many people have said that Motul 300v is good, but because it's designed for track, needs to be replaced more frequently and if the bikes not pushed to the limits, it won't get the benefits.
So they favour the 7100 over the 300v.
Have a look on eBay, opieoils have got some good deals on.

 

I change the oil twice a season, using 300V. The Repsol sees track duty and very spirited street riding. I've never had an issue, 10,000 miles on.

 

I, and many others on here, swear by Opie oils. I buy both two stroke and 10 - 30 in bulk for a far better price than I can find elsewhere.

 

This oil. Brilliant & most Honda dealers use it.

 

I don't think honda used 10-30 till RR8; so I would go for 10-40
motul 300v do car competition range but although the brochure mentions track use, it is great for road use and doen'st go off or have a short life

 

Used 300v, 10w30 in the winter 10w40 in the summer, engine still good after 70k.
Used to change around sept then march regardless of mileage

 

I put castrol racing 10w 30 in 2005 1000rr and 2007 vfr

 

Yep, I'm a Castrol man. None of this new fandangled Motol and Agip for me!

 

Motul 7100 10-40W

 

Fuchs Silkolene Pro 4 10w-40

 

Why do people use 10W 40?

I actually read the owners manual (the tiny booklet) ...and Honda recommend 10W 30.

 

I had a look and my book does say 10w40
I have already changed the oil now.
And I used castrol power 1 10w40.

 

Agree. My 2018 book recommends 10 - 30 whereas my 2004 booklet recommends 10 - 40. I suspect this is due to a shift in technology.

I will always defer to the Honda manual.

 

Your 2011 would probably say 10-30 but would bet your local Honda dealers would put 10-40 in it.
My 12 has only had 10-30 in it once as it drank most of it lol

 

After my first service I went to the Honda dealer to get some oil for topping up, they sold me 10w 40.

 

Hey all, sorry to harp on about this oil choice

I'm guessing no one opts for Semi synthetic.
