DB30 oil, what to use

[chop-gsxr]

Im new to the site and mini bikes, i just got a new DB30 from pep boys to use as a pit bike at the drag strip. What would be the best oil to use in the stock motor? Thanks!

i think they recommend 30w. i just use whatever we have sitting in the garage in my 6.5 (usually some sort of Harley oil).

Should i use car oil or motorcycle oil, what would be best?

4 cycle oil with any of these ratings will satisfy requirements: SF, SG, SH, SJ
A straight 30w detergent is perfect above 40°F.

So far I have run Chevron 10W-30. No problems. Straight 30w is recommended in the bikes manuel. :thumbsup:

I would use whatever I had available.


From DB-30 manual:

I stand corrected. I believe the manual recommends straight 30w to oil the clutch and chain.

I didn't keep the 2.5 engine long enough to ever need an oil change. :wink:
