Can I use this oil?

[star4772]

I have Yamalube 4 stroke oil SAE 10W30 API/SJ left over. Can I use this in my 08 RSTD for an oil change before I head up north.

 

Next change I want to go and get Syn. oil.

Hmmm, not sure on that, Yammi wants a bit thicker oil in the 1300...

YamaLube 10w30 is fine in the RSV. Inside the trunk, it recommends to use 20w40 or 10w30.

Thanks I will have to check my manual also.

Only in the winter would I use thinner oil. I have a pressure gauge. These things need thicker oil.

yep it will work just fine.

Not sure if your RSTD has clutch winning problems, but, it is ok to use that oil in your bike.

 

The reason i mentioned the winning problem is, on my second oil change last fall, I used Yamalube 10w30 and the whinning got markedly Louder... so i switched back to Yamahalube 20w40.

Hmmm never thought about that I really have no whine so maybe I better get the 20/40 or even 20/50. Thanks for the reminder.
