Lifeblood for my mini-ceptor

Hey guys I just got my radiator back from the shop, now I need to refill the beast.
Does anyone have a preference on antifreeze/coolant?
I am also going to do an oil/filter change, any recommendations on your preferred oil?
By the way I ride an 86 vf500f.

 

Might as well have asked about tires and gas too :tongue:

 

For oil I use Rotella in all my bikes. The 5W40 synthetic should do you well, is motorcycle approved and is cheap, or at least cheaper than 'motorcycle' specific oils.

 

What I put in is Mobile 1 racing 4T motorcycle oil. It costs more than rotella, but I want to get the best protection against wear. after all, how often do you actually need an oil change? I'd rather pa a little more and be sure. As far as a filter, use anything that is made for the bike, as long as it isn't a fram.

 

Lifeblood is a Manic Street Preacher album...Very fine indeed. They are from Wales yah know...\\\


I use 50/50 mix with a few ounces of Water Wetter...thats about it....oil, lots of different opinions...buy good stuff and change it often...

 

I run Rotela in everything I own, it's wet clutch safe and heavy duty enough for diesel. It's never let me down and never gunked up any of my engines.

 

read this man!

Motorcycle Oil and Filters

Theres even a cross reference link that shows tons of different filters that would work for you.

I just got my bike some months ago and ran into these same questions...I decided to use rotella-t 15w-40 and mobil 1 m1-110 filter...although my last filter was purolator pure one PL14610.
