    I was told by one dealer that they recommend 10w-60 for the sm510r, but since winter is coming up, another dealer told me 15w-50 woudl be just fine

    Obviously full synthetic, reguardless of the type of oil.

    But what do you guys think? 15w-50 for the cold months a good idea?

    the new recommended oil is Castrol 10w50...I would run the 15w50 without worry, but the 10w is better for lower ambient temps at start up,etc...

    I changed my oil, but have to take it to get the rest of the service done (valves, computer check, etc)

    Do you guys think its ok to ride daily?
