You can delay fixing the problem by using straight 40 weight or even 50 weight in the summer months, 30-40 weight in winter.

What oil to use on crf230?

10w40 four stroke motorcycle oil. do not use car or truck oil! 10w40 4 stroke oil is car & truck oil which are also 4 stroke engines. You can use the very same oil you use in your car and truck as long as you use the correct weight which is SAE 10w30 and not SAE 10w40. Read your owners manual and you will see it does not recommend 10w40. There is no difference in so-called motorcycle oil and car or truck oil. I do however highly recommend you use full synthetic oil in any air cooled engine.


What type of engine oil should be used in a Kawasaki KZ750?

I have the 1982 Kz750 LTD. I am just using Castrol 10w40 car oil. It must be 10w40 or more, 10w30 and lower viscosity oil has an additive in it the will mess up the clutch. So 10w40 is what i would suggest. But you can buy expensive motorcycle oil, but it is pretty much the same.

It shouldn't hurt anything until you get into the colder months. But, 5w30 is the recommended oil for that car. 10w30 is also a suitable oil down to 0*F.


Will switching to synthetic oil stop your car from burning oil?

No, it will not help at all and you will just be burning a more expensive oil. If it is burning oil then the rings are worn and you need an overhaul. You can try moving to a slightly heavier oil as in going from 10w30 to 10w40 and it may help some, but there is no magic fix.
