    Use whatever you want so long as it meets the API service specs listed in your operator's guide. The same section of the OG will tell you how to correctly check the oil level so you don't overfill it.

    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    to the forum. There are many oils you can use in the Spyder. I use Mobil 1 4t for motorcycles. If you do a search using the search box top right side for oil you will see many post about different oils that people like to use in their Spyder. Some of our sponsors sell oil change kits also if you would like to go that route just go to the home page and see the banners and click on them to look at their products.

    If you have a warranty and you do your own work (services) keep all your purchase receipts and dates of service along with milage. If you have a warranty issue and do not have any of the foregoing documentation you may well be SOL.

    Some of us here use Rotella T6, including me. I like it for its 5W base that circulates more quickly on these cold day starts. As it warms, it reaches the specified 40 weight, that's good. It is JASO MA2 rated, and is safe for motorcycles with wet clutches and catalytic converters. That you can buy it on sale for $20 a gallon is a nice plus.

    That question is almost as open ended as, "What kind of women makes the best wife?"

    I use Amsoil Metric Motorcycle 10W-40.
