Max oil capacity 1.2L, periodic 1L. Many riders here reporting oil consumption when they using OEM conventional oil. That's why I don't trust the OEM oil and looking for better alternatives.

I read 20w-50 are good for older engine, as the oil path is not as tight as new. So thicker oil maybe the best for them.

Unfortunately 30w monograde oil available here are designed for cars. So they may cause slips

Yes it is available and cheap! I've been looking their AX7 (semi) and Ultra (full syn) products. Probably will try them, but many complaining the noisy engine after just 1000km.
