Hey there guys, I was just interested in what kind of Oil you guys are using in your bikes. With the Hydrostatic Drive and the Engine and Transmission sharing the same oil, I would preffer to change the oil more frequently. The spec's in the Honda manual are very clear, with the initails, however I used to work at a honda dealer, and they quite often told customers to just go to Canadian Tire and pick up 4 stroke oil. Is there anyone out there in the Oil buisness that can shed some light on this topic for me? I know the mark up on the honda oil is ridiculuos (8.99/litre) so who is using what and can you back your choice up with the matching oil codes?
I use the Canadian Tire 4 stroke oil for ATV's it works good, and the bottle has the codes indicated in the honda manual, but it is only available in One Litre bottles! $3.99/litre.
