Hello all! Obviosly new here and plan on a proper intro but first I must vent.
I bought my CBR about two weeks ago and I'm loving every minute. Last week I was in and bought my wife and I a couple new helmets and grabbed some oil and a filter, grabbed the first HP4 oil I saw, turns out it was 10w-40. No big deal took it in for exchange today only to have two techs and a salesmen tell me that that's what I should be running despite the owners manual stating 10w-30. They insisted Honda doesn't make a standerd 10w-30 only a synthetic, even though I could clearly see it on the shelf, and that they had filled the bike with 10w-40 not the specified 10w-30. They all agreed and tried to convince me it was best and that silly old Honda couldn't possibly know what was best for thier engines. REALLY thier obvious extencive years of knolledge far outways the mass of expencive research and development that Honda has done?!?! Would this void my warranty or adversly effect my break-in
Sorry for the rant but needless to say I'm a little upset and considering contacting Honda and informing them that one of their dealers is not following instruction very well. Anybody take on this is welcome
