Another oil question

Hi All,

After doing an oil change with mineral 15w40, I read in the manual that our 4th gen takes a semisynthetic oil. (I know, read manual first!)
Will my engine implode/meltdown or, shock horror, go slower?
I don't have easy access to bike specific semisynthetic.

If it is the appropriate grade from a reputable manufacturer - the bike should be fine, all though mineral oil may degrade faster than semi synthetic.

 

Thx, I'll sleep better tonight...especially better now the Springboks beat the Lions!

avoid any oil that says "energy conserving", not good for bikes.

 

At my age I need all the energy I can get
