Hi Ralph, and Welcome to the club.

 

The best place to get the correct Oil and the the parts is Opie Oils.  They have a great online shop. 

 

The are good friends of the club, offer a good price, and are a well established company,

 

Many members of the club have changed gearbox Oil around 75k with beneficial effects 

 

Regards,

Hi Ralph,

 

When I rode high performance motor bikes, I used to change the engine Oil every other week.. I used to work at the Steelworks in Shotton with one week Sunday to Friday and the next week Monday to Thursday.  The Oil was drained on Thursday night and refilled on the Friday morning.
