You can get 10w60 at NAPA Auto. I found this info online. I went down there and told him what i want. He said, we don’t carry that kind of oil. To which i retorted, your website say’s you do. So he get on his computer and say’s. Damn! I did not know that! Nobody orders that kind of oil. Any hoo, check out NAPA and be prepared to have to convince them they do have it.

In reply to Wayne Clifton.

Hi Wayne, yes, I stop in there occasionally, Jim there was a big help to me when he was at Union Cycle when I originally bought my California Vintage in ’08 from Carl, I still miss Carl’s shop.

I have been using Amsoil Synthetic oils and lubes in all my Moto Guzzis since 1975. No issues, no leaking seals, and even extended drain intervals with no issues. My most recent Guzzis, a Breva 1100 and California 1400 which IO bought both new I have been using Amsoil 60 V-Twin motorcycle oil which meets and exceeds the requirements and has a -29 below zero F pour point. 52,000 on the Breva and 28,000 on the Cali 1400 and absolutely no oil add needed even on extended drain interval on my 12,4000 mile Alaska trip. My dealer installed Amsoil 80-90 in the gear boxes at first service. The final drive, ( rear diff) calls for 30,000 mile drain service. I just changed mine today at 28,000 miles and it looked like it came out of the bottle. Very minimal metal hair on the magnetic plug. I’ll continue to use it. Well over a half million miles on Guzzis with Amsoil and no failures.

It was very helpful all your info on the oil change since I am new to moto guzzi. I was wondering if you have any advice on the Stelvio 1200 model for oil changes.I’m loving the on/off road capabilities because at some point in time I will dare to make a trip to Mexico.So any piece of advice is welcome.The motorcycle is new so I’m learning from the bottom.
