surely should still be same as standard unless cams state using a better oil?

mines on 708s and i use 10w40 semi synthetic told that was best

told me 5w40 was better for short journeys at it heats up quicker

With a cammed engine, the std oil recommendation goes out the window..

You want a 5w-40 fully synthetic..Semi synthetic wont be good enough tbh if it gets driven hard alot..

Thats popular if money is no object. However your prob better off changing the oil more often with the millers.
