At the risk of causing wails of despair and anger I am writing on this topic,
which I recognize has been beaten to death and should probably be allowed to
rest in peace. However, being a little behind the curve I have a question for
any of our oil gurus who may not yet have escaped to a higher plane of
enlightenment:
I was walking through my local Pep Boys today, looking for some of the Rotella
SAE 40 I have been using because it is rated at SL on the API scale, when I
happened to see a display of Castrol 4T (4 cycle) motorcycle oil in 10W-40 and
20W-50 and rated at SG/SH. It is priced at $15.99 per 4 liter bottle (less
than $4.00 per quart).
My question: Is there any reason this oil can't be used in an LBC engine? I'm
trying to think of any reason that such an oil, which is formulated for the
higher demands of small, high capacity, high revving engines would be
detrimental to the life of my old lightly loaded 2660 cc lump. Any comments
will be appreciated (well almost any...)
