I use Castrol in my '68 TR6. When I bought my 2011 T100, 20W50 was recommended. Then Triumph switched from Mobile to Castrol and Castrol does not make a 20W50 motorcycle oil. So now Triumph recommends 20W40 for the Bonneville family. Because I ride in the heavy traffic in the Southeast with temps approaching 100F, I use fully synthetic 20W50, which is not Castrol.

I don't why Triumph dropped Mobile1; but I do know that Mobile changed its additive package to one with less anti wear formula. Castrol has a better anti wear package as does Amsoil and several leading motorcycle oils.

I do run 20W40 in my 800XC; but it is liquid cooled.

My dealer recommended Motul 5100 20W50 so that's what I've been using since 2006.
Two years ago I bought a case of it and still have enough for two more oil changes so I'm going to stick with it.

I use only Castrol oil, my 1400 is oil/air cooled, I use Castrol Racing full synthetic 10W-40 and in -10 to 45C it's perfect.

I use Amsoil in my T100 and 800XC; but there are other really good motorcycle oils out there.

I agree.
Oil has been developed to such a high degree these days that there is not a lot to choose between them.
I use Amsoil full synthetic in my H***a.
