Hi lads,

I am basically wondering I can have some good price on petrol car oil 10W40 semi synthetic, so I am wondering do you know if it will go in the kat 400.

Or I should buy a motorbike oil. ?

Thanks guys

yeah and no problem, I use to use one in france from the supermarket like €3 for 2 liter it was brilliant.

I think I am going to do that, as the price of oil is very expensive here.

Which oil are you using Johnr just in case I found the same here in tesco?

morrisons own brand. they used to have a budget 20/50 for 4.99 a gallon, but now its double that. tbh i only get it cos i can get it free with the tokens i get from filling the van up twice a week.

I've always used tesco own brand oil and never had ano issue, let's face it tesco do not refine their own oil.
Just as a side *onda say not to use oils with additives in the ?*ulvilles.

oh yeah no doubt that tesco does not make there own oil for sure.

I am going to do that, the last time I bought oil I nearly faint when the guy told me the price....
