Best Oils and Lubricants for a Duke?

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by Jay, Feb 15, 2013.

  1. Hi all,

    Not exactly the most glamorous or interesting of topics but just wondering if you guys had any recommendations when it comes to oils, coolant etc? I know Shell is the recommended brand for my 848 Evo but just wondering if people have any good or bad experiences using other brands? Just about to do an oil change on the bike so thought I'd pose the question.

    Cheers for your responses (and any p1ss taking) in advance!
     
  2. I used Shell for quite a few years with no issues. Switched over to Motul about 3 years ago and would say its better still. I use 7100 10/60 fully synth as my regular service oil. 300 V 15/50 in desmoseidici and panigale and as an option for customers who want that bit better.
    Neither give any problems with the wet clutch in the 848.
     
  3. Thanks Nelly, might give Motul a try then.
     
  4. no worries. you won't go far wrong :)
     
  5. We have deals on at the moment on Motul products including the 7100 and 300v. Would you like us to send you some of the flyers with prices and further information?
     
  6. Could you send me some 1litre samples of 300v? 4 should be enough to ascertain if I wish to buy any :upyeah:
     
  7. Don't think you're aloud to ask about oils !!

    But fook it shell 15-50 fully for me

  8. I am sure we could arrange something if you were thinking of buying a large quantity of 300v i.e a barrel!
