Using OEM right now... thinking of moving to 0w-40. I live in California FWIW.

What motor oil are you using? How's your experience.

Hi Philippe, btw did you ever move to a lighter oil or stick to 10/60? As also you get a few minus during winter...

Tws doesn't exist anymore. Its edge tws professional replaced tws Motorsport. There is also an edge tws sport which is not recommended and is not as hardy
