well it doesnt really matter. just dont run a low weight fully synthetic cause it will freeze. use a higher weight like 10w-30 instead of 5w30 stay with honda oil if you want.

wtf? since when does ANY oil freeze?
And why would he go for a higher weight oil in the winter? If anything he'd go lower for cold weather.
Also, once the bike is warmed up 10w-30 and 5w-30 will act exactly the same in the clutches, both 30weight.
reptikes, the red bottle honda oil will work fine all the way through the winter.

I use the same oil year round. GN4 or HP4 Honda oils are a good choice.

im not dumb but d3k ive had on off day.....im sick and half asleep when i wrote half the stuff i wrote today as u can see you have corrected me several times today. my minds backwards. But when does oil freeze........I wish i still had the picture cause I didnt believe it either. About 5 years back my brothers entire crankcase froze on his 95 yamaha blaster when he used synthetic oil. I dont know what the temp was but they had to put bike in front of kerosene heater for 20 min before the kickstart gear would even budge. If you want to claim bs on it then go ahead i would have too.
