Can I use this oil for my xr200?

I need to do an oil change for my Honda xr200 (dirt bike) would castrol GTX 20w~50 work?

Yes

Read your owner's manual.

Rotella T 15W40 for the wet clutch

No, use Rock Oil, 10w40.

Would work in warm weather. Factory probably said use 10-40 for the unitary engine and transmission as default. That age with some wear- good choice is 15-40 diesel early spec oil- zinc additives for flat tappets and high temperaure capable, good for tranny gears also. 20-50 is for Harley in winter or good for many wet clutch Jap bikes in summer. Warning from many others- don't use new car oils that are advertised as low friction, EPA friendly- the wet clutch tolerable zinc additives have been replace with synthetics that can foul wet clutchs. 20-50 racing valvoline is popular this time of year in midwest, soutwest. Zinc additive act almost like lead to foul catalytic converters on cars- that is why newer car oils for the newer cars don't have the zinc and why they aren't recommend for motorcycles of earlier vintage with wet clutchs that don't function well after moderate use of newer 'low friction/EPA approved' oils.

It'll work, but it's too thick (viscous).

  • Honda XR200R or XR200 2001? I'm thinking of buying this bike for around $1500 but I can't figure out whether XR200 and XR200R are the same because some websites and things say XR200 but I see lots of other places saying its XR200R. Really confused any help would be appreciated. Also any details about the bike/ bikes would be appreciated.
  • Honda CRF150F 2014, what oil should I use? I have do change the oil on my CRF150F and was wondering what the best oil to use is? I know in the manual it says to use 10W-30 but which brand and where from in brisbane?
  • If in the owners manual it says I should use 5W-20 motor oil, can I use 10W-40 motor oil instead? I have a 2009 Honda Fit. I just recently bought 10W-40 and when I got home to put oil in the manual said 5W-20. What's the difference? And is it okay if I still use the 10W-40?
  • 1979 Honda XR200 Ignition Coil? So I have a 1979 Honda XR200 dirt bike and I have it almost ready to drive but it needs a ignition coil. I went on eBay and did not find one… I was just curious if any one knew if there was an ignition coil that would fit my 1979 Honda Xr200 dirt bike?
