This is the oil coding/grade your looking for... JASO MA2.. this the correct "standard" of oil for a modern high performance bike. There's loads of info on MA2 online..
That 20 ltr container that I bought is proving excellent value for money, going to drop the oil on my HP4 at the weekend...that'll be the first change since Angelsey, Oulton and Knockhill, I'll see what it looks like, bike ran sweet as its ever done and don't expect the oil to look any different from the same grade oil I've bought for years from Motul or Castrol.
Geezer still has it listed at under 80 quid for 20 ltrs on Ebay..

Personally I wouldn?t as previously mentioned it?s car oil. Also check if it has any Molybdenum in it as that damages the RR engine. J
Its a highly tuned engine. Oil is cheap why risk it?
Would be interesting to send a sample of your used oil away for analysis, and somebody else with similar usage, but using premium brand oil do the same. See if either ones suffered more than the other. Or if there is more metallic partials in one or other.

Interesting Kenny, never considered that.
I spoke to the owner Paul at Westway and was impressed with his knowledge and quality of the product..in the main racers and track guys buy the 20 ltr containers..think he's sold around 40 on Ebay alone, you can buy direct from their website..

I wonder if they test bike oils? Can't see why they wouldn't.
