Thanks guys. Does anyone see an issue running the 15w40 when Honda only recommends the 10w30? Shell does have T5 in 10w30 but I don't know anything about it. And then there's a Delo blend 10w30 I just saw. Oh and cost is really not an issue since it only takes one quart and it's not a high...

Yes I think Honda is going to 10w30 on a lot of their bikes. Goldwings too I think. I just started the thread about the Honda Grom 125 and it only lists 10w30. The Pro Honda HP4S oil is only available in 10w30 as well.

I recently got a Honda Grom. Really fun bike for around town, max speed is about 60mph. I wanted to see what you guys thought would be a good choice for oil for this bike. It will only be used in the city, so plenty of stop and go. Riding temperature for me here can vary from 100F in the summer...
