Oil Specification and Grade

Triumph's
high
injected engines are designed to use

synthetic motorcycle engine oil that
meets specification API SH (or higher)
and JASO MA, such as Castrol Power 1
Racing
4T
10W-40
engine oil, sold as Castrol Power RS
Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) in
some countries.
Refer to the chart below for the correct

Oil Viscosity Temperature Range

Do not add any chemical additives to
the engine oil. The engine oil also
lubricates the clutch and any additives
could cause the clutch to slip.
Do not use mineral, vegetable, non-
detergent oil, castor based oils or any oil
not
conforming
specification. The use of these oils may
cause instant, severe engine damage.
Make sure that no foreign matter enters

A year round, Hybrid Organic Acid
(°C)
Technology (known as Hybrid OAT
or HOAT) coolant is installed in the
cooling
motorcycle leaves the factory. It is
colored green, contains a 50%
solution of ethylene glycol based
antifreeze, and has a freezing point
of -31°F (-35°C).
