    78 gs1000e oil

    Ok up till now I was using castrol 10w-40 motorcycle oil
    And always used fram oil filters cuzz that is what was available to be...
    This time I decided to switch it up a little !
    Purchased rotella T 15w-40 , 9.5 litres and a EMGO oil filter , the filter was a couple bucks more then the fram and the rotella end up being cheaper then the castrol by about 4 litres for free ...
    However I just fired the bike up and smoke comes out from both pipes now !!
    Do I just need to take it for a good run ?
    Or is my bike saying ummm nooo I like the other oil better ??

    You touched something......now something else broke. Par for the course with these old bikes. I can't have anything to do with the oil, but what colour is the smoke? white or blue?
