I am new to rding. Recently bought a used 91 ninja zx7. Just wondering if engine oil is the same as what is used in auto. If it is, what's the weight???

Any help would be appreciated..

use inline four MC oil. imo

 

10W40 (I use castrol)

Don't use the energy conserving automotive oil. It has additives that don't work well with your clutch.

 

10w40 castrol - for auto? right?

 

Yup. Castrol GTX 10W40.

Mobil 1 makes some inline 4 oil. There are as many suggestions for oil preferences as there are brands of oil on the shelf! However, you do typically want to stay away from the "Energy Conserving" stuff, like Mark said. I'd suggest a Wix filter; stay away from Fram. A few years ago they had a problem with the paper collapsing (not a good thing at 12K.)

 

napa filters are also the wix type and are good filters.

anyone use royal purple?

i've heard of people having clutch issues with synthetics.

 

I used the castrol dyno fluid on both of my rides. Break in and track time. 10/40 is a good number to play with.
