Re: oil
Some large Tescos have bike oil on their shelves or you could give halfords a go, 2.7l (as long as it's an SV650) with filter change.

Re: oil
The right amount for the bike you've got - whatever that is.

Re: How much oil?
If you weren't doing the oil change tonight i would have said have a look on ebay.
They have some decent looking deals on Silkolene Super 4 + K&N oil filter bundle. Edit: I think the above come in 4L containers so you would have plenty left over for top ups: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3210280642...84.m1438.l2649 Last edited by Pricey12; 24-06-13 at 12:47 PM. |

Isn't it 2.7L on a full engine rebuild, and 2.4L with just a filter change? |

No 2.7 with filter seems about right (filter soaks up a load of oil when new). Best to fill it up and slowly check it. With a filter its best to part fill it too
