Magnatec 10w40 for me, i think the Fuchs stuff should be fine tho.

FLYRYD · 30th April 2007, 07:23 PM

maybe 10w40 or 10w50 is better because the oil gets pretty hot

Penzoil 10w30... 10w30 is recommended by Honda.

Been using this in the VZR for the past 150K, been quite happy with it. 10K service intervals and the car runs for around 10 hours per day so it gets warm and stays that way for extended periods of time.
