I am getting ready to change the oil in my 02 955i. I have heard several opinions about which oil to use, Mobil 1, Amsoil, Rotela, and everything in between. What do you guys think? The bike has just over 5000 miles. No, this is not the first oil change, but it is the first since I got the bike. I am mainly wondering if the Mobil 1 MX4T 10W-40 is the right stuff as it is the easiest to get.
Thanks in advance for any and all input.

Any of those oils will be fine. Triumph actually uses Mobil1 4T in the bikes.

the955iman, The MX4T should be fine, we've used it in the RC51. IMHO, as long as it's 4T rated, it's OK with the clutch.
