Default Re: Has Anyone Used Ipone R4000 RS Engine oil

Not a massively well known consumer brand (certainly not one I'd heard of) but this just means good information on it is hard to find, rather than meaning it's a bad product. The product seems to be fully synthetic which may or may not be overkill for the SV depending on your point of view.

The most important thing is that it is a 10w 40 oil that meets API SF rating or higher. I'm currently using Halfords semi synthetic in my ZX6R and reading the spec on the back of it, whoever actually makes it (and then sells it to Halfords) makes it to meet API SH (which surpasses SF, and SG). So it's not bad stuff.

Just about any semi or fully synthetic motorcycle oil will be fine, the SV's not terribly fussy.
