Hello all, I just purchased a 1986 vfr700f2(I believe) white, square gauges, gold motor cover. I would like to change the oil and am wondering if anybody has any suggestions. Owners manual is on the way, but figured I would try here also. Pictures coming soon. Thank.
Any oil that has JASO MA spec on it is fine, you will see this on the lable, if its not on the lable then dont use it
I just changed my oil and used rotella t 15w-40..I used it because after reading for a couple of days I found that a whole lot of people use it and have been satisfied with it for many years. I also have the Honda service manual for my 98 vfr800 and it recommends the Honda gn4 10w-40 but also shows a chart that says you can use other viscosity depending on the average temperature of your area. The chart overlaps 40-80 degrees F (about 5-30 degrees C) showing any of these would be fine:10w-30, 10w-40,20w-40,20w-50. I live in hawaii so I figure that 15w-40 would be fine in 70-80F average weather. I dont have a lot of experience, im just stating what the honda serivce manual says for my particular bike. I would assume your bike wouldnt be too incredibly different.
