Bike oil has a slight differance in as bikes use a wet clutch but should be fine to use as you can use car oil in bikes

come on, what this lot don't realise is that tractors are really complicated these days, our john deeres with 500 hr service intervals are on some serious spec stuff that i'd never dare stick in my nova. I have a 205lt of scania lorry oil that is about right though.

I once tried my b reg on case ih 15w40 and got serious valve bounce.... I drained it out (including the lifters) and filled it with duckhams 15w40 and it worked way better
