oil on my husqvarna tc 250 2005

which oil should I put on my husqvarna tc 250 2005

there is a oil blog on here somewhere , i use Shell rotella, you can run dino or syn, your choice. just change it often w a filter.

Thx but do i run 10w40,10w50,15w50,10w60 ?

The factory recommended 10W60 AGIP Synthetic. Motorex also makes a synthetic 10W60 that is available that is available on-line at rocky mountain cycle. Some (strongly) feel that the factory had a specific reason to recommend this oil and spend the $$$ for it.


Others use shell rotella "triple protection" 15w40 "dino oil" and change it often as it is less expensive. Others take a "middle road" and use shell rotella t6 5w40 synthetic. Both of these are for diesel truck use. But they are low in moly so are okay for wet clutch applications and shell certifies this with JASO for motorcycle use So very good for use in our bikes.

I have read that the shell rotella t6 synthetic will shear down quickly (lose viscosity) when used in a motorcycle - so don't think you can run "extended drain intervals" with it. I would treat it just like the shell rotella 15w40 dino oil. Change it often.

Me - I am running shell rotella t6 5w40 synthetic and changing it often. But I am thinking about switching back to 15w40 rotella "dino oil". You can find shell rotella 15w40 at any auto parts store (or walmart). The shell rotella t6 full synthetic is sold at walmart.

We use Mobil 1 0W40 and I also favor Shell T6 5W40. I recently started using the M1 in my KTM race bike, it has a kevlar clutch and it worked flawlessly.

In my 2010 450, in the hot summer, I run 1/2 Mobil 1 15w50 and 1/2 Mobil 1 0w40, for a net 7w45. In the winter, I am going to use straight 0w40.
