Stupid oil Question
I refuse to deal with my Local Honda Dealership due to Rudeness and Extremely High Prices, so...
I went to the Yamaha Shop and bought SUZUKI 4 Stroke oil for my '88.
My manual says SF or SE oil, (this oil I bought says MEETS or EXCEEDS sf/sg). Is that the same as SF?
Is it Safe for my Bike?

RE: Stupid oil Question
I chickened out and went to the Honda Shop, only thing, they didn't carry SF or SE oil.
I ended up consulting a Saleman, and Mechanic that said the SJ oil would work fine.
Changed my oil with 4 quarts of the SJ, and everything seems fine.
Thanks for your input and answers.

Motorcycle oil normally don’t rate higher than API SG. Higher ratings could mean they have friction modifiers to reduce fuel consumption in car engines. So, SJ sounds as a car oil to me, but if is JASO approved anddeclared to be awet clutch motorcycleoil it is fine.

I'll check to see if the Oil is JASO. Thank you!
