I have a 1996 Honda cbr 600 F3 it has 102k Miles on it very high. Trying to decide on Oil for it? Im looking into Royal purple 20w50 Not sure if i should buy the real expensive senthetic Oil or reg Im very confused lol. This is my first bike Just want it to last Anyone Know what would work? Thanks

 

IMO, any quality motorcycle oil will be fine. No need to spend for the uber-expensive synthetics. You won't be racing it. More importantly, you should change at proper intervals (or moreso w/a higher mileage engine). Use what your manual recommends for your particular application & you should be good to go.

 

Rotella T 15/40 , 2.5 Gals for 28 bucks at Wally World

Cost effective option , good oil that a lot of us use in older bikes

 

OK Thanks guys I think all go with the Rotella T Oils its right here at walmart and cheap.=)

 

The Rotella works good... I like Mobil 1 myself, but either will work. I've run Mobil 1 full syn in my bike since it had 5000 miles, and it's at 193,000 now and the inside is spotless with virtually zero wear. I always get the 5qt jug at wally world for $22. Either one will work fine though, just keep it changed regularly and you'll be good to go for a long long time!

 

the cheapest **** you can find. I find that when I use synthetic on higher mileage vehicles, they like to leak it out. . .

 

I experienced that with my Jeep but never with my bike
