Re: quick oil question...
what kind of castrol do you use on your R? you should use nothing but synthetic oil on it because of the high rev's. i use castrol syntec 5w for winter and 10w for summer.

Joe, I'd rather have enough oil in my engine rather than have to drive without enough oil because the brands were different. In emergengy situations, so long as the weight is the same, and so long as the brand is a known brand, I see no problem in mixing two different brands of oil with the same weight.
