QuestionsAprillia

I Know that oil is a dangerous topic on any forum.

I have downloaded the Workshop Manual and see that the spec is 10w-30 above SG rating.

For many years now I have run all of my bikes including Aprillia RSV4Tuono, 07 Aprillia Tuono, 08'Aprillia Shiver ,05 Vtr1000f, 01 TRX850,95 FZR1000, 98 Suzuki TL1000s, 92 Duc 900SS, 08 848 Duc, on dare I say it Mineral Diesel oil.

Never had any problems .

The question is this,

Does anyone on here use Diesel oil in their VFR1200f and if so what brand and specification ?

Sorry about the question however, it will save me a lot of research.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers from Australia.

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

A favorite of a fair percentage is mobil1.
Dunno about diesel oil though.
Where are you from kenmoore?

 

I have been running shell T6 in my 93 for a while now and had no issues. In reality as long as you use a quality motorcycle oil and change it regularly you should not have any problems. The T6 is JASO MA/MA2 rated for motorcycles and about $20 a gal. Most of us do not run it alot of miles anyway. Sounds like you have been using it for years yourself and had no problems. Use what you like...

 

I live in the Shoalhaven on the South Coast N.S.W.

Near Kangaroo Valley

 

I'm at Goulburn

 

Been running diesel oil for many years and many miles(couple hundred thousand). Delvac or Rotella, whatever is on sale.

 

There is a white VFR1200f for sale in Goulburn.

Is that yours ?

 

Yes it is
