HI guys i know i should be using a 10W-40 part synthetic. Ive just picked up a 1L top up from Halfrauds and its a Castrol engine oil but its red??

The oil in the catch tank is normal goldy colour. Im new to the bike engined thing so have i bought wrong oil?

Its Castrol Power GPS?

I used to use Castrol GPS in mine. As long as its the four stroke version for bikes you'll be fine.

Loved the red colour as it's easier to spot the level in the sight glass and the smell!

Mike

**edit**

what oil is it exactly

Mike would it be ok to use as a top up to the oil thats in the car already untill its changed.

I know the oil was a 10-40 from the history but im unsure what brand etc.

Or would you just change the lot? It was changed quite recently.

yep my high performance 4 stroke motorcycle oil is red,

i use this oil in my zx12. but i wouldnt mix it with other oils. it migh react and cause problems.

it will react with other type of oil most likley.

just change the lot ad you then know its sorted.
