Engine Oil

**FEL12X** · 08-02-2008 01:12 AM

the engine doesnt take any oil but when i have oil change after using FEO , if ind that the oil become very thin, unlike before when i was using shell helix plus sport (long time ago, dont think they still selling this oil), and when start up i can hear tapplet noise abit ( i just have it adjust 1000ks ago)

FEO oil make me feel they can be only use for 5000ks max, and others can last up to 10000ks...but i never change oil later then 5000ks

If you want a thicker oil at startup, then see if there are any 15w-40 oils out there.

u guys think that 0w-30 or 5w-30 is ok for the dc2r?

Mr Ichimichi San from Spoon says NO to engine oil flush!

I use Castrol 5W - 40 for street!

The thinner the more fun I say!

I have used 0W - 40 Castol Edge before...
Very nice oil... it's okay when it's freaking COLLDDDDD. But I wouldn't use it in warmer months. 0W oils break down at lower temps than higher weight oils.

5W-30 is good.

0W has the same viscosity as 5W.
No, 0W doesn't break down at lower temperature.

I have used Honda FEO for the last 7 years in my DC2R but I have recently changed to Motul 300V 10W-40.

Is this new Motul oil compatible? If not, what's going to happen?

Are you having oil consumption problems when you use 10w-30 oil on your engine?

Yes, from Motul's data sheet, it can mix with regular oils. You'll be fine.

What ratings do you guys reccomend for the DC2R for the track? I am currently using Honda FEO. Do i need to use a thicker oil to protect the engine on track or its ok to leave it at Honda FEO?

FEO is alright. Bring a spare bottle along and check in between sessions for oil consumption and top up if required.
