The first figure is the cold figure; 10 or 10W/XX

if this was true then it wouldn't be a 10W

sorry.... i'm very sceptical

The oil is the most important part of a husa bike.Whatever oil brand you use think ..... the manual says only full synthetic oil . A lot of oil changes will save your engine ( 5 at summer -10 at winter hours ) .American oil brands use additives european brands cant by the law . There is not a european oil better than known usa oil . Search it and you will see . Never use on husa oil over 50 weight . The tolerences of this engine does not made for a 60 weight oil .The oil pump its very weak for this oil weight and the starter gears are much worst . All engine makers cars or bikes agree about the cold start makes the 90% of the wear in the engine . Dont comfused with ktm dealers oils . They reccomend everythig have in their shops . Ktm Its a different animal .AND THINK VERY CAREFULLY CHEAP OIL = VERY VERY EXPENSINE ENGINE REBUILD ............ IF YOU FIND PARTS .

I appreciate the impute and explanation. I didn’t see you really mention anything about brand. My current problem is that I had some guy put in an unknown oil and over flowed the machine (causing a smoking problem and problem with the start up/electric start). So I need to take out oil, add some of the correct oil (and shake it up a little/run it a little) and do an oil change (resulting in the correct oil). But right now it’s winter in CT, and I’ll ride the bike here and there. Sounds like I should do frequent oil changes like 10-15-20hrs, which can be reasonable depending on price, an oil change really isn’t that much effort if you have the oil on hand.

TL;DR, is there a brand suggestion for USA *brands*, and what should I use to do a clean out of the old oil and run in the winder? Does brand matter?

USA engine oil options

what engine oil brands are our options in the USA? Lots of recommendations for motorex, but that is hard to get in the US. 5w-40 in the winter and 10w-50 in the summer, seems to be the recommendation by the community as well as the manual. My bike is a 2008 fe550. I’ve seen others...

It does seem odd that for an engine designed by engineers who live in a climate where 1°C is "just another normal day" that they would recommend 10/W50.
Would you recommend 5W/40 fully synthetic or something else (for 1°C)?

I can leave home at 10:00 AM, and it's 1°C. By 3:00 PM its 13°C.
