Oil choice - Castrol GTX? Or Power 1?
#1
Need some oil for my Fazer, just a wee top up. Foxeye 2003 FZS600. Spotted some Castrol GTX 10W40 in ASDA going very cheap (£12 for 4L), but wasn't 100% sure if suitable, so didn't get it. Is it any good? Could see anything on it about additives etc.
Searching back on here, I see others suggest Castrol GPS Power 1. Going to the Castrol site, they suggest Power 1 Racing 4T or Power 1 4T (fully or part synthetic). But obviously both are coming it at £30+ - quite a difference. Smile

Be careful with the one that is in Asda I seen it the other day and I was pretty certain it is car oil.


My mate on a Hornet highly recommends the Power 1 Oil. He says he won't use anything else as it is that good.

I am sure Castrol recommend the Power 1 for a very good reason, it is the correct oil for the purpose .
A high reving engine and the same oil used by the clutch and gearbox also
However it is your engine and false economy :rolleyes
