martinh55 Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Hi I need to do an oil and filter change. My zed is of higher mileage. Currently have 5w 30 in it and going to change to 5w 40. Do i need to do any think different from a regular oil change with there being a change in viscosity? Thanks Quote
ZMANALEX Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Yes, remain fully synthetic and choose a decent brand. Quote

Oil is oil, there's no worries of incompatibility like with coolant or brake fluid. You can mix 5w30 and 5w40 with no issues, but the little bit leftover should be negligible anyway, and no different to the old, dirty oil that remains normally.
