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 to probably 30-40F in the winter. Plus with only 1 quart capacity I know I will be changing it often no matter what I use. Not much expense there either. I know about the HDEO oils like the Rotella T that I used to use in Yamaha YZ426F, but I wanted to stick with the 10w30 oil and I don't know too much about these. So here's the info:
125cc 4 stroke, 4 speed
Air cooled
Oil capacity of 1 quart
Just an oil screen
Oil lubricates engine, tranny and clutch
Honda only recommends 10w30
Some 10w30 motorcycle oils I've seen that are available are:
Amsoil MCT
Redline
Motul 5100
Pro Honda GN4, dino oil, using this now for break in
Pro Honda HP4S, full synthetic
I know it probably doesn't matter too much if I change it regularly but any thoughts would be appreciated.
