Grant Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Shouldn't top up really mate and do the filters. Change the oil completely. Look around, Opie oils are pretty good for oil and filters. Cheap and quick delivery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Do it a bit at a time as you can afford to then! Start with the oil and filter, fuel and air filters, then plugs and leads, then cap and rotor if you need to etc etc! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Opies should recommend you an oil on their site mate. There a full size and a stumpy, can't recall the differences but I think they perform the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 10w40 isn't it? Opies should recommend you an oil on their site mate. There a full size and a stumpy, can't recall the differences but I think they perform the same. Yes, 10w40. As said Opie should give you recommended plus upgrades. The Hamp shortie filter is supposed to flow better and give better pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
