NC700X Oil Change @ Honda Civic Walmart Super Tech oil filter ST6607

6,000 miles and I didn't add a drop between oil changes because the motor does not burn or leak any oil. Used Walmart SuperTECH filter ST6607 that the Honda Fit car uses and Synthetic oil. [Fram PH6607]

Any issues since you've been using the Super Tech? I bought a used 2014 NC700X DCT. Do you know of any issues if I used the Super Tech Full Synthetic SAE 10W-30 4-Stroke ATV Motor Oil? I'm only hesitant because it's for ATVs but it says "wet-clutch compatible" and seems to meet the Honda specs?

There is a lot of Mythology around oil the reality is any ordinary full synthetic oil should be just fine and even though my clutch is about seventy-five or eighty percent Warren and in fact that's how I got it from the previous owner there's been no slipping issues at all

Also congratulations on your purchase of the 2014 nc700x right now I met almost 47000 miles and everything's running great

@@pcofranc Thanks, that's great to hear. Mine has 9,200 miles and the last owner didn't keep records or remember last oil change so just changed it with Honda GN4, but I wanna make the switch to synthetic.

Wal-Mart synthetic oil.... And no clutch slip?
Wise tales?
I think mine might benefit from a little slip because regardless of how far I adjust my clutch it still "chunks" into gear(especially 1st)

I believe it could be possible in some situations force synthetic oil to be less than ideal keep in mind I'm doing normal driving I'm not racing However even before synthetic oil in the 1980s I was told that Castro Motor oil would cause my clutch to slip and it never did. Regarding the clunk that you're talking about if you allow the motorcycle to start rolling at about 7 miles an hour in neutral and then shift into 1st gear there'll be no clock the problem is even when you disengage the clutch somehow the transmission keeps turning a little bit 7 miles an hour in neutral and then shift into 1st gear there'll be no clock the problem is even when you disengage the clutch somehow the transmission keeps turning a little bit Because it's a constant mesh design however my old BMW k75s which had a separate transmission and a dry clutch like a car did not do that when you put it in 1st there is no clock at all ever.

I'd be less concerned about the brand (Walmart is made by a reputable supplier), but more concerned with car oil in a motorcycle. Honda motorcycle oil is plenty cheap online. For my own piece of mind, I'm only using Honda oil/filter. $40-50 every 8,000 miles seems more than reasonable, but different strokes for different folks.

Thanks guys, yes it either doesn't clunk at all or does so very little if I'm already rolling, but let's be realistic here, I'm not going to get a running start at the traffic lights and then shift into gear.
You're right there about the car oil, I used castrel synthetic motorcycle oil and it still clunks.
I think I'll try the Honda motorcycle oil next to see if there's any change.
