sandifords Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 We use (in our own Team 4RT's) and recommend - Silkolene Pro SRG 75 (75 SAE). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandifords Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Hello Roy, Engine Oil - Silkolene PRO 4 (10/40)- I'm sure Norman Watt will be able to supply same, or an equivalent as our Dealer for your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oz thumper Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 We use (in our own Team 4RT's) and recommend - Silkolene Pro SRG 75 (75 SAE). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for the info guys, can you confirm its 75 SAE,that is really heavy compared to the recommended HTX 740 (that is about the same at auto transmission oil). Doesn't the heavier oil cause more clutch drag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggs888 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Elf LUBHTX 740 is the best i've tried . Repsol 4T for the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the alcoholic Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Hi Dixie I run ATF in the gearbox on all my bikes and unless something drastic has occured you will find it much much cheaper than SRG75. I ran SRG75 in my 315 for 2 fills (500ml in each case) and in MY experience/opinion the ATF performs identically or slightly better (read less clutch drag!!!!!) performance wise, and costs the same for 5L compared to 1L of SRG (bargain or what and it is even red to match the bike, I know no one can see it but I know its red and its in there). I am currently running Castrol GPS 10/40, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolcevita Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hi gents, just received my new 4RT some days ago here in Italy, and I also got a spare liter of engine oil (I asked for it). It has two "brand lables" on it, HM moto (the Italian Montesa importer)and MYTOIL RACING(that should be the producer of the oil, but I've never heard of it). Interesting stuff is that is labelled as "special trial 4 stroke engine", "less friction anti wear additives", "Motor oil synthetic high performance special 4T Trial", "Recommended for Montesa Cota 4RT" and it has also all the quantities needed for the 4RT on the box! (0.41 or 0.44 liter depending on filter changing or not). It's a 10w40r (what's the meaning of the last r? maybe racing!), API CG4/SJ, ACEA A3/E3/B3/B4, PSA-PCDO-PCMO, MB-228.3 Main writings are in English, Italian, Spanish and Japanese, so difficult to say where it's really produced. Looks like better than the recommended Repsol 4t or Honda Ultra S9, at least on papers. Have no idea if available in UK and US. Hope this would help. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
