Got a liter of motul but i forgot i need more then that. Only place up here only has maxima. Both are 15w. (i use 15 normally, 10 is too light) Bike shop here says it;s ok but i dunno if they just wanna sell me the maxima or what. I would assume it's fine but thought i;'d ask in case i'm missing something.

Personally it's something that I would avoid unless stuck somewhere remote, just my opinion. Research it Daz.

I did but all i got s a million conflicting answers, so i just went ahead and did it. I can't imagine it will matter.
