Hi,
I recently bought a new Honda SH125i scooter with Honda's 125cc ESP+ engine. According to the manual it's using 10W30, at least API SG non energy conserving oil.
Personally I would like to use 10W40 which a lot of Honda owners of the older generation of these bikes do. A hard working little engine might be better of using a 10W40 oil, even tough it's using a dry clutch CVT system.
On my old Piaggio 125cc I used to use Motul 300V which I used for an full OCI. But on the Honda which calls for 3500 miles OCI I would change at half of that max., since there's no oil filter.
So I'm thinking about either Motul 7100 10W40 which is considerably cheaper than 300V
Shell Rimula (no Rotella in Europe) in 10W30
Mobil Delvac 1 5W40
Amsoil ASO Scooter oil 10W40
Any advice?
Thanks
