what type of oil?

[stoney420]

hey guys in the shop manual for the 1985 ytm 200 it says to use 20w40 but i went to most of the local parts stores and None of them had it! closest was either 15w40 or 20w50 so i bought the 20-50 but i wanted to check with u guys and make sure the 20w50 would be alright before i put it in there, any input is appreciated, thx!

20w50 is good unless it gets pretty cold around your parts (below 32 for long periods). If it does, get you some 15w40 instead for the winter.
