[Fot] Oil Question - No LBC content

[Peter Vucinic]

Gary,
I have an R6, Virago and FJR1300 all running Castrol Active 4T and have been
running this oil exclusively for more than 8 years. This is 15W-50 grade.
The Active 4T is an Australian brand, so =you may have to ask your Castrol
rep for an equivalent if you cant find it directly.

Cheers
Peter

I apologize for using the list for a non-Triumph question but I know  there 
is more knowledge available here than anywhere else I could turn to.
 I have several older motorcycles whose manufacturers recommended oil  
weights that I can no longer find. Example; My "85 Virago 700 should have
20W-40  
according to Yamaha. I can get 10W-40 or 20W-50. Which number is more  
important, the first or the second. 
 I know from past discussions there are some lubrication experts on  the
list 
and would greatly appreciate your advice.
 Thank you!
 Gary B
