SAE 10W single viscosity

[dart1963]

Anyone have a link for SAE10W motor oil? Single viscosity?

This has nothing to do with the bike...


for those with peaked interest...

Being used to keep water from evaporating in a bucket for rainfall monitoring. We tried mineral oil, but it froze (or got real thick) during the winter.
thanks

Semi related funny story Don. I knew an old guy that lived up in the mountains a few miles behind my place,he's gone now. He used a rain barrel to collect drinking water. He used to pour a thin layer of used motor oil on top to keep the mosquitoes out of his water. He would just brush the oil aside and dip water for drinking or coffee.

I thought about that... but might have a hard time come expense report time explaining (after riding into work) that the motorcycle fork oil was for work purposes....

Premix oil is 10w , but expensive to .
Every time I come to the fork in the road on the way to work I have to put oil in , thus fork oil is needed .
Yeah TS HD oil is the least expensive .

oil on top, antifreeze (pure glycerin, as the bucket fills, it dilutes down) below.... keeps water from evaporating and freezing!
