Newer engines are machined to tighter specifications than older motors. Newer motors require a lighter grade oil for lubrication like a 5 or 10 weight. The 5 or 10 weight can move through the engine and get to the places that need lubrication better than a heavier grade of oil. A 10-40 grade moves through the engine like a 10 weight oil with the ptotection of a 40 weight oil. If you put a 30 weight oil in your engine, it will not move through your engine as easily and when it does get to the parts that need lubrication, it does not do as good of a job.

one quart 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 10w30 and not 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.
