No more 10w30?!?

[halcyon026]

I was told today that they aren't making 10w30 oil for bikes anymore. The yamaha shop and cycle gear said that they don't even carry it anymore. Everyone is using 10w40 now.

Is this true?

If so, why?

I only use Shell Rotella (thats the synthetic kind).....and I think thats 10w40 if I remember correctly. Best oil out there by far IMO (and everybody else who does tests on oil lol).

I used Motul double easter 5W 40 or 10W 40 pretty good its easy to tell whne i change oil is needed.. its neon green color when its new then it will look like a reagular oil color whne its due for a change oil...

[halcyon026]

Have you guys used this yet?

It's Shell Rotella's new full syn. What are the friction modifier labels you should avoid and what are the ones you want for a wet clutch??

You're just talking about yamalube....They don't offer a 10w30 anymore...
I don't really have an answer to why...they just changed to a 10w40.
