CG 125 Long Distance Oil Intervals
 

Just wondering ..

Right now I stick to a good quality semi synth, usually either Honda 4 stroke oil or Castrol GP4.

I do a lot of miles, so I change the oil every month or every 6-800 miles or so.

In summer I note that the gearbox turns into a bag of bolts, stiff shifting and struggling to find neutral on very hot days etc.

So, since I am off to Spain where it wont be mega hot but will be in a few months time and it is an air cooled engine and all, would it be worth switching to an esther based group v fully synth oil? Or will this be a waste of money since the drop intervals are so frequent? I am also worried about maintaining a good oil film on the bearings etc as these are old school engines after all ..

Or should I just carry on with the semi synth and change it every month religiously?

Just keep changing the oil as you are doimg and you will have no problems. I ran one of these bikes for years changing the oil every 1000 miles, all ok. btw i would check your clutch/chain tension . Good luck:thumbup1:
