I'm waiting for Penrite Oil so that's good for me. There's also Mechpro 74 Pc Tool Kitfor $40 (i'm noob about this so don't know it's really good or not) Please check the catalogue for more deals.

0w40 is a pretty damn thin oil though. If your engine isn't designed for it, you'll likely burn oil and risk damaging your engine.
No it is not thin. It is a 40 weight oil at operating temperature, identical to a 5w40, 10w40 etc, but it doesn't thicken as much when cold like a 5w or 10w does. This means it flows more freely in a cold engine.
it also means it gets pushed out the way on the bearings surfaces and causes much worse premature wear
it also drains out more so when you first start you have zero between bearings surfaces and again much worse wear
@nosdan:
Not correct at all,
If oil is flowing past the oil pressure relief valve, that is wasted. The correct oil thickness is what provides maximum oil pressure with minimum flow past the relief valve, as oil flow provides cooling, while oil pressure provides surface seperation.At operating temperature, all 40 weight oils drain at the same rate. This means 0w40, 5w40, 10w40 and 15w40 are identical at operating temperature. Maximum flow at near the pressure relief valve opening point is far more important to protect against wear and tear.
The first number is a reference how much the oil thickens when cold, it is not the viscosity index when cold or hot. Therefore a lower number should protect the engine better.

There are other aspects too, I believe Penrite uses very high amounts of ZDDP which helps protect lifters but damages cat converters. I think that's a positive tradeoff, (especially for a motorcycle if the oil doesn't have friction modifiers), but others opinions may differ.
I don't know, maybe I will come to store to find out. However, sca is promoting penrite also, take a look at there website.
the battery charger is a good deal
Cool thanks, been waiting for the penrite myself
Don't they have a 0w40 full synthetic oil for $29 as well? Should protect a cold engine better and you can change it more frequently at that price
