Re: Change Your Oil

I changed my oil some days ago: went like a charm!
I put in some 5W40 Auchan brand full synth diesel oil: silent, starts on first crank, neat. Perfect!
I had no wussy bikestand or 2x4s... I did it like the pros: I had a book, sat on the bike and read on till the dripping stopped

P.S. It is a good idea to tilt the bike a bit now and then during the process to help all the old stuff out!

Auchan? Isn't that the home brand of Al Campo? If it is, I've never seen it on sale over here. :??:

Sounds like it's the same chain, but over here the chain is known as "Al Campo", and their own brand is "Auchan", with a picture of a red bird on it. [attachment=0:2ckdx0jv]Picture 002.jpg[/attachment:2ckdx0jv]

Have you tried their own brand "fuel additive"? €5 or €6 for 365ml. Around 75ml to a tank of fuel every 4000km keeps the carb clean. :2tup:

Re: Change Your Oil

I'm having trouble finding the sight glass to check the oil level. Does anyone know where it is exactly and have a picture of it? Thanks in advance!
