This motorcycle belongs to my SIL. It is a Honda VTX1800, water cooled, 2003 bought new this summer with 10 miles. Two previous oil changes. 95% Highway miles.
Good way to ensure that he uses the $4 a bottle stuff from them. Have not been able to convince him to use 15W40 Delvac or Delo.
Viscosity took a ride South, but also these 2500 miles were on the highway and ambient temps from 80-100F.
