Mixing oils???
« on: 25 October 2012, 02:03:21 pm »
Hi all,
Will bad things happen if I mix semi synth and fully synth oil in the bike (bike spec oils not car ones) or will it be ok?

It will be ok. Semi synth is a mixture of mineral oil and Synthetic oil anyway, so adding either is no problem (and the ratio of either doesn't really matter as long as the oil your adding is up to the spec in the bikes manual.
