From: metal_flowboard on 21 May 2007 08:18 does the name on the bottle really matter? i mean isn't 10w40, the same 10w40? whether it be mobile castrol or wotever? and what is yamalube? from what iv found its 10W-30, 20W-40 10W-50 So if thats all it is why pay for the label? If you were stuck and needed oil would you really say no i'm say wait until my preffered brand arrives?

So far I've used 2 litres of the oil in 2500 km. Little smoke, > no smell and the bike runs great.
