20/40 oil

I notice the Stella 4t manual says to use 20w-40 motor oil.

That oil is really, really hard to find. Where do you get it? A lot of genuine dealers I've called don't have it...maybe it has to be ordered?

I think the actual oil filler cap says 20w-50 ---- that's what I've been using.

...I'm going to check right now. Thanks for letting me know.

And here I was imagining that the manual would get it right...

We'll see. I'll report back to see if mine is the same.

Aha. Mine also says 20w50.

Must have been a typo in the manual (I assume--either that or 20w40 is common in India?).

20w50 oil is sold everywhere so this is good.
