Hi. Two month ago I buy my first motorcycle (Yamaha FZ16, air cooled, single 150cc). Here the law says that we need three years of experience to buy motorcycles bigger than 200cc (a long waiting/learning time).
I'm starting to search the oil to use, but the market of brands is very limited here.
By the manual, the oil to use is Yamalube 20w50, and the official service put the mineral oil of the Yamalube made by Chevron Brazil.
I just done the break in the last week (1000kms) and I don't know is a good moment to use syn oil, or I will wait a few kilometers more (maybe in 2000Kms more).
The big brands I found are, Motul, Mobil, Shell, Castrol, Yamalube and Liqui Moly, and the product list for these brands is very limited, except Motul, they offers the full product line.
Amsoil, RedLine, and others... are not present in Uruguay
We do not have oil analysis labs, so, I'm guided only by what I see in this forum.
Motul, I realy like the 300V 15w50, but my concern is that is a racing oil, and I read in another thread that is more appropriate for the track (less deposits manage, and no JASO MA compliant) and is not for everyday driving on the street. For this style of use, is the 7100 20w50 is more appropiate?
Shell only sells the "Advance" line (no Rotella) but I have no references, and the german Liqui Moly has a few oils, but I have no references neither.
Castrol, some products in the market, but no one is synthetic .
The only oil from Mobil I found is Mobil 1 RACING 4T 15W50 (no V twin).
And the Yamalube synthetic? information on the Internet about this product is scarce...
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Sebastian.
