Just got a '08 TC510 to join the '72 500CR and '83 250CR and have read many oil threads but still not sure what to use. All I do is mx and it's 100+ here right now. Have been using Maxima since early 80's in the 2t. I know oil always brings out some heated debates but I just want to make sure my baby gets the best protection. Thanks to all

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

You will find 2 schools of thought :
1. The factory recommended oil is the only thing to use...
2. Shell Rotella 15w40 works just fine and change it often...
I am in camp #2.

thumper lube
I'm in the heat just like yorself. I use Thumperlube 20W-50. You'll be surprized at how these 4T engines rev these days and tear up oil like a lion though a herd of gazelle. In the heat, that heavy wieght stuff is all that really stands up to it. If you want to see what the inside of an engine that has been running on it for 2 years looks like, stay tuned to the "main" forum. I've got a pic you want to see. Expensive, but...so is the bike it's going in.
