Having just come back to Guzzi after 37 years I seem to remember just using 10/40 mineral oil in the Guzzi and the old BM at the time but reading the oil section something must have passed me by.
Help! is it 10/40 or 20/50 and mineral, semi or fully synthetic?
Please make it easy for my tired old brain.LOL
Cheers

G people are Opie oils give them the bike they recommend oils ....to be fair older big blocks were recommended 20/50 for years but modern oils give better options ...the only Guzzi I am aware that needs specific High quality fully synth oil is the EV 1100 Hydraulic valve bike ....

I've got some Silkolene Classic 20/50 so that should do the job nicely.

Just to echo Johnno's plea, which bike is it?
TO LIVE OUTSIDE THE LAW YOU MUST BE HONEST.

1971 V7 Special. 1972 850GT.
1970 T120 Bonnie. 2009 500 Bullet.

Sorry, it's the last run of the Mk5 Leman #82/100 but still just a basic 5 built 1994.
I don't have the hand book but the early 5's had 10/40 spec as standard I was sure but that Might have been my old 80 reg V50 Monza.
Cheers
