Ok, I just went through this with my Motorcycle shop 3 weeks ago. I
questioned them since I have been running Castrol GTX for years with no
problem but they did some service on the bike and changed the oil without
asking me and were charging a fortune for the oil. They claim that the oil
is special and I was very doubtful...the counter guys answer was with all
this legal junk on advertising these days, how do you think they would get
away with it if it is not true and other silly items like that. The guys
at the bike shop are convinced the box is right and the oil is special. I
was not convinced but I am now wondering if they are right and I have
ruined my bike by running the wrong oil. Ok it runs flawlessly and thats a
stretch but my next oil change I will have to wonder again if they are right.
