I did my service at the weekend and used Castrol 4t power 1 oil. It claims it gives you better acceleration and I can say it does seen a bit more responsive. Whether this is just the placebo effect or it was just benefiting from fresh oil I don't know. It it fully synthetic though, the last oil change was done with semi synthetic at the honda dealer.
Anybody else tried this brand and what did you think?
Service done.

I have been using Castrol Edge synthetic and Shell Rotella 5-W40 for a few years now in my 1986 Honda CH-250 with great results.Alibally wrote:.

I just performed my post break-in oil change (560 miles) over the weekend and used Castrol Edge 5-W30.

I use castrol edge professional 0w30 at my work for petrol engines and magnatec low ash for diesels.
I saw the 4T in a supermarket on offer so I bought it. It's designed for 4 stroke scooters/bikes. The 0w30 I thought was a bit thin for the bike but it probably would be ok.

It was tesco. It was in the bargain bin with the yellow stickers. It was maybe an end of line item as it was only £6.
If you try and get a litre of castrol edge in a fuel station they rim you for £18.

I saw that. Probably will get that the next time as it will need a filter and plug next service. Don't know if its a deal though as I haven't priced the stuff locally.
