Oil Grade Specified in 2008 or 2009 FJR Manuals?

[Shinden]

I am interested to know what grade(s) of oil is specified in the later model FJR manuals, since they don't supply Yamalube 20W-40 anymore.

Owner's manuals are available for viewing online yamaha-motor.com. Click Sport, then Parts & Service in the bar at the top, the View Owner's manuals at the left.

Good question. I am curious about this myself. I have about 1 years supply of Yamalube 20W40 left.

I couldn't find that info on the Yamaha Canada site but it was on the site you provided.

THANKS , that told me what I want to know;

2009 FJR1300AE (couldn't find the "A" for 2009 on the site)

10F to 110F: 10W-40

50F to 120F: 20W-50

2010 FJR1300A

50F to 110F: 20W-40

50F to 120F: 20W-50

Not sure of why there is a difference in the temp.'s and grades

In my 2009 service manual, 20W50. Under the seat 20W40 :eh-smiley:

From all I've read here and on other sites, it doesn't make much difference.

As above, 2009 manual recommended is 20w50; Yamalube 20w40 went away/changed to 20w50.

20w50 here in my manual

We need a supplier for 15W 45. <_<

I was at the dealer this fall getting my recall work done and a customer asked the parts guys about 20-50w replacing 20-40w, and the parts guy told him that they are using 20-50w as a replacement.

Off the "My Yamaha" section of the Yamaha Motors website 2009 Motorcycle/Scooter Technical Update(2/14/10): oil type: above 5 Degrees C (40 Degree F) Yamalube 4, 20W50 and Below 15 Degree C (60 Degree F) Yamalube 4, 10W40. My 2009 Owners Manual and Service Manual state Yamalube 20W50.

Forget the Yamahalube. Use Shell Rotella T 5W40 synthetic or the regular Rotella T 15W40. Both are better then than YamahaLube and much cheaper. Also remember that the first number in the specifications refers to the viscosity of the oil when it is cold and the higher number to its viscosity when it heats up in a running engine.

2008 manual still specifies Yamalube 4 20W-40 or SAE 20W-40.

Please share with us the data that supports that statement!

I can't believe you just asked a newfie that question eh. The rest of us hosers would know better

 

[Gerry.GEG]

Yep, Rotella T Synthetic. Used in last bike and this one too.

Go to the FAQ of the Rotella site and see what they say about M/C's using it. Good stuff and I also use in my two Nissan V6's.

If folks were curious at what point this thread got moved to NEPRT....it was very likely around this point.

Well my original question was not Never-Ending Pointless, to me.

IMHO, it was a legitimate question, I was asking for factual data that I did not have, i.e. oil spec.'s given in the latest FJR manual.

I got it and that was very helpful, thanks to those who provided it.

I've used 10 w 40 Castrol in every bike I have ever owned..........never let me down yet.
