Asking questions about oil can be very controversial usually resulting in lots of piss taking and abuse.
I can never resist mocking those who use 'Motorcycle oil' in these bikes (as a for instance)
If you have an ordinary car then it's simplest to use the same oil.
Tarka is your friend in all matters relating to oil and as such all oil related questions should be directed to Tarka personally
No offence intended, it's just the dreaded oil question, and some on here can be a bit parochial about it. Personally I use a semi-synth and change it yearly. That can be anything between 4-8,000 miles. Works for me.

I know that a BMW doesn't require motorcycle oil as it has a dry clutch, but when St Eptoe serviced my bike, Rock Oil 20/50 is what he uses and if it's good enough for him, then it's good enough for me!
(Mind you, Morris Lubricants also a good range of 20/50 oils too.)
