I need to change my oil as well and my big question is can
you use any oil? Cause I hate the price of the yamalube and plus I've used castrol forever and was wondering if you can use regular or syn or is there a
special lube just for bikes like the yamalube stuff?? Plus the oil filter number for a k&n was kn-204 right??
You can't just use any old oil. You have to remember that we have a wet clutch that shares the same oil as the engine. Most car oils use friction modifiers that will destroy your clutch. The cost of oil is something you kind of just deal with as a motorcycle rider. You can use the Shell Rotella T Full Synthetic. It's actually diesel oil which don't use friction modifiers. Probably going to be your cheapest option. Also make sure you buy in the gallon size. It's cheaper than buying quarts. You'll have a little over a quote left in the bottle but as long as you're using the same oil for every change you can use the last bit from one bottle and half the next one etc...
