[Foreman2000]

Are you saying you're in Africa with a Honda and asking if this oil is ok to use?

It's a honda motorcycle that shares the engine and dct of the pioneer and talon

My VFR1200 also has the DCT and I'm planning on running Rotella T4 15w40.
I'm sure you could get away with the 5w40, especially since it has the JASO MA certification.

Did you get an answer in the other thread where you posted the same question?

What's the climate and what country in Africa?

I'm going to stick my neck out the window here and possibly make some sense of this. A Honda Africa is a large displacement dual sport motorcycle. A Honda Pioneer and Talon are both side-by-side four wheelers also made by Honda.

It appears that the question is whether the oil in question is acceptable in all three of these vehicles. Whether it is or not sort of depends on what the vehicle manufacturer says the engines need. I personally don't have owners manuals for these vehicles so I don't know if the only oil specification is API SN or simply a JASO MA2. The answer sort of depends on what Honda wants the owner to use.

MA2 oil will work.

It's a motorcycle... not a country.
And it's central Georgia it's hot and humid
