I yhink the rule is witihn a mile so they can be baughty and put signs on one road that relate to a camera on another nearly road.
best thing, Niel, is to get a geodessy or similar gps / databse unit.

Nick, the chart applies to the range.. the only exception is the short service interval - the exception - and that allows a cheaper oil to be used - apart from the f7p.. that means quite clearly that you dont use the lower spec oil in an F7P when acea 1 2 n 3 are not available.. in other words...
usually 60 - 90 (av 80) but can vary with design.
The differences you are talking are minimal react the same...
So, lets expand it further... all oils - within the design range for the engine - and within the same rating - perform in an identical manner in respect to engine lubrication...
Sorry Brun, but you in effect disagreed with your own findings....
what you are saying is.. at normal temp they are similar viscocity .. that is exactly what I said, and the engine spends most of the time at that temp..
the cold rating as you call it is irrelevent if the oil is within...

not at all, thats the range on the oil.... it has the properties of, say, 40 AND say, 10.. where the 40 would not offer protection, the formulation allows a wider spread of ratings for the same oil, but its base consistency at normal temp is the same (to all intents and purposes..) - it doesnt...
Just a point re thiness as some quote..
it is not thinner or thicker - it is the same !!..
it is just that the viscosity will remain constant over differing ranges of temperature.

the bit about the back end appears slightly worrying Arjun.. perhaps a wee bit softer on the rear may help.. suspension and tyre pressures...
you SHOULD have to provoke it really.. the only time its a blessing is when you can control it with slight lift off.. and control is the critical...
from the horses mouth so to speak..
Carl (The official timer at York) sent me this info and he has no objection to it being posted on Cliosport.
Excellent Stuff !
Joe.. (I have thanked him a lot for this, what a nice guy !)
