I know, I know - an oil thread on an internet forum! I almost couldn't bring myself to do it, but I want to keep my 11 nice, so bear with me!

It's used a little oil since I've had it (down to the minimum mark in around 1000 miles), so while I've got it on the stand (see puncture thread!) I thought I should take the opportunity to change the oil.

Can I have recommendations for grade and specific brands please?

Thanks, and sorry again for an oil thread!!

You can use just about anything providing it meets or exceeds API SF spec, and to be honest you'll probably struggle to find such a low spec oil these days.

No need for synthetic stuff, no need for bike specific oil. (JasoM)

I use 20w50 SL spec mineral in all my air cooled boxers including the tuned 12s with no ill effect.

20 litre drum is around the £30 mark

PM me if you're interested in supplier.

Thanks Dave. That's CHEAP for oil! Does it keep ok? At best I'd only change the oil twice a year, and I'm guessing the bike only needs about 3.5-4 litres a time?

cheers,

4 litres with a filter change and engine HOT to make sure the oil cooler drains down.

It won't deteriorate if you keep it cool and capped.

What brand is that? Can you ship to the Isle of Wight?

cheers,

Nik
