    I just did mine - used silkolene 10/40 semi synthetic and got it from Steve Lynehams ( http://www.stevelynhammotorcycles.co...dex.php?cid=11 ). Cost me £37 for 4lts of oil, filter and a filter wrench.

    First thing is to find out the specification your bike manufacturer specifies. This will be in the manual and covers many other properties than just the temperature range which is whats indicated by 10/40, 20/50 etc such as the GL rating. Once you have the spec you can then source the oil manufacturer and the supplier.

    I use Opie Oils and have them deliver to my door.

    JP it's called Power1 now, GPS is the old name, more than a good enough oil for a blade.

    Busters on Ebay are doing 4 litres & filter for circa £29, for a zx9 anyway, have a gander there might be Homda filter packages too.
