So now I'm ready for the first oil change. My mechanic hubby wants to do it himself (and I'm going to watch and learn) but he wanted me to ask if there is a preferred oil. Should we stick with Suzuki oil or is there something else out there that is as good or better.
I'm not looking to "cheap out" on this, I'm just looking for the best for my bike...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
BTW - Thanks Susan, for leading me to this forum!
You're welcome and welcome to the forum. I'll be interested in the responses as well. There was a topic recently called "Oil Viscosity" which discussed some of this but frankly it was a little over my head as a new wrencher.
So guys/gals, could someone summarize in newbie wrenching terms what we ought to know about oils and what oils we should we be considering? Thanks!
