This
And this 20w50 And burned a tank of gas.... Fuel economy is up slightly. (statistically a wash) Gears shift smoother. Engine case is notably quieter.... Changing oil every month so not a fresh oil used oil kinda change..... This is a viscosity change. This is all in 80F (26 2/3) morning, 100F (37 3/4) afternoon riding. My conclusion... In Southern US states in mid summer a thicker oil is a good thing. However... I would never run 20/50 in the cooler/cold months. I will continue to run 20w50 for at least 2 more months.... I will let you know if my oil pump fails or my motor blows up ![]() ![]() Disclaimer: Owners manual says 20w50 IS an option. I decided to pursue this option even though the fill cap for the engine case clearly states 10/40. If you follow my footsteps and have an engine failure it's not on me cuz I told yall the disclaimer 8~P If your motor is precious to you use what is printed right there at the fill plug 10w40.... I also recommend you read your bikes owners manual recomendations though ![]() Login or Register to Remove Ads Last edited by spldart; 07-29-2015 at 09:57 PM. Reason: f to c conversion |

Any idea who supplies the oil for Suzuki? You might be able to find it at a lower cost with a regular supplier's name on the bottle.
