IVJ Oil capacity please?
Hello all,
Long time no post, but the Tenere is coming out of the shed so I need to pick brains!
I'm going to do an oil and filter change, can anybody tell me how much oil i'll need to get? Also will I get away with using normal 10w40 car engine oil? The motor is fairly tired and due for a 3AJ transplant anyway so i'm not too concerned about a bit more wear.
Thanks in advance.

1vj oil
hello i have been told that if you put car engine oil in your engine it is designed to reduce friction of all kinds because cars have a dry clutch but in your engine it has a wet clutch and you need a specific oil designed for motorcycle engines i use a 10/40 castrol oil which i get from halfords and it actually says ideal for wet clutches on the bottle if anyone has used normal car oil and it worked then great but i think it is a bit risky.

1.9l Periodic oil change.
2.0l With oil filter replacement.
2.4l Total amount. <---- obviously the oil lines and cooler will retain some oil at a normal change.

Bike passed MOT with flying colours this morning. Perfect weekend for the lanes! I used silkolene semi synthetic oil, £6.50 per litre, better than £11 for castrol!
