Yes it's an oil question

VAL. H. · Aug 31, 2021

I have a 2005 1200GS. I've owned it from new and ahave always used Castrol Actevo 4T 20-50 engine oil.

I haven't used the bike much over the last few years and haave now finnished my stock of oil. It seems I can no longer get what I have been using, this side of the atlantic anyway.

What's out there, that is equal or better than the Castrol? Idealy still 20-50.

just check the specs make sure they meet or exceed what you need

And remember it's a tractor

It's a very slick tractor, at least in my opinion

Opie usually price their oil cheaper on ebay...

That's worth knowing, I've never even thought of looking on Ebay, always ordered from site &#55357;&#56397;

This is what's in my Twin Cam and it's not blown up yet.

Thanks for the tip. Good price. I too use fully synthetic but it's more than that usually (probably paying for the brand - (usually silkolene or Motul))

Mine takes 4 with a filter change. Worth buying 5 for top ups before the next change.
