Hello everyone,
I wanted to throw this question out to the group. I would appreciate any suggestions you can offer me.
My motorcycle is a 2008 Honda Goldwing, 1800cc, 6 cylinder. The engine oil is shared with the transmission and clutch. Honda cautions against using "energy conserving" oils because they may impeded clutch friction and cause slippage. I picked up some Cheveron Delo 400 15w-40, but am somewhat concerned because the container reads that it meets "CJ4".
So, my question - is the Delo with CJ4 safe to use in my Goldwing ? Do you have a better suggestion as to what oil(s) I can or should use ?
I only have 6,000 miles on the bike, and have used Honda's GN4 10W-40 with the past 2 changes. I would like to be able to purchase my oil closer to home, like an auto parts store, Walmart, Costco, etc. The Honda dealer isn't close by.
Thanks in advance,
Dave W.
