Specifically a 1973 CB350F, the neat little four cylinder. I've wanted one of these for oh, about 39 years. These were new when I was 16. I had to settle for a used CL350. I've found a less than 10K miles, all original example, and the purchase process has begun.
The manual calls for 10W-40 at all temperatures and 20W-50 above 59F. I'm also guessing that a 10W-40 with a strong additive pack is the best for this small displacement engine. The logical first choice would be T6. I figure any of the HDEO and MC specific oils, even are far, far better than anything that was available then. This is BITOG after all, so have at it.
In a previous thread hal2626 said: I use Mobil 1 15w50 in my 08 865cc twin... I use this in all my bikes except my CB750K.
OK, what do you use in the 750? I'd be happy to hear from folks with recent experience with early 70's vintage Hondas.
