oils

Post by red_dog49 »

hi all, well it's an old question and I have read a couple of previous posts,are all lightweight owners following the factory handbook as to what you put in or are you all using sae 50 for engine ,gearbox and chaincase, hopefully will be re registered soon (got mot today), I have followed the service book but am always open to advice.
regards

I use SAE 50 in the engine and gearbox all year round (but then it gets no use in the winter) and I have SAE 40 in the chain case only because I have some which won't get used for anything else

thanks for that, reckon i'll just stick to 50 grade then to save me storing too many different oils in my shed.
