Subject: Honda ss50 Motor Oil

Hi!

I'm restoring a Honda ss50 and i wondered if you could help me finding the right motor Oil?

In the ownersmanual it says SAE 10W - 30, but as it's hardly not possible to get such Oil localy i will take a 10W - 40 as think it shoudn't matter to much.

But my question is, does anybody know about the requiered API Class or if it has to be synthetic, semi synthetic or mineral oil?
Maybe you have got good experience with some kind of oil, or with a specific oil manufacturer?

Thank you for you help!

best regards

Martin

Hi, I'm not really sure what should be correct, but you can visit API.org website and possibly find more info on this subject.

As I try to stick to the old stuff I use Castrol Classic 20w50 oil, it has the same specs as the original stuff.
