Motorcycle/ATV experts part 2....

I got a 1986 Honda TRX200 that has been siiting for like 12 years unstarted. The past weekend I managed to get it going. But I need to change the oil.

I have a bottle of this stuff called Gunk "Motor Flush" that cleans engines in 5 mins. Is it ok if I run this stuff through the engine...its a 32 ounce bottle, how much of it should I put into the motor?

I also have 2 Quarts of

Chevron Supreme Motor Oil
SAE 10W-40

Formulated with

ISO
SYN

Would this work as motor oil, I dont live within resonable distants of a honda dealer so I cant by there special oil.

:) I'd stay away fromthe motor flush and just run the machine until everything is good and warm, shut it down and pull the drain plug. Let it sit for around an hour or so{go rip off a few rounds} put the plug in, but I would recomend a 20/50 oil like Castrol GTX in a 20/50. these things are ran slow and idle a lot-heat- A heavier oil will do fine and you should be able to pick it up in any aoto parts store.;) The Madtechcool:cool:

My dad warned me years ago that it could loosen bad stuff and damage bearings. Just change the oil before you run it then get it hot and change the filter and oil again. You can use cheaper oil of the proper grade for the start up, since you won't use it for long. I would recommend synthetic oil for your regular stuff, it's great. If not then use Castrol.
