Initial oil change

Color of the day · 09-03-2017, 03:57 PM

I have been away from my bike since June 8, 2017. I also had spinal surgery. I was just cleared by neurosurgeon to wear a helmet and go on short rides (If I drop the bike, I cannot lift anything over 30lbs still).

I hit the two hundred mile mark the first week of June before I deployed.

It is ready for the first oil change.

The CSC website states 5W40 non synthetic oil then at 1,000 miles use 10W40 motorcycle synthetic oil.

Here's my problem: My local auto parts store does not have any 5W40 non synthetic oil. Everything they carry is either synthetic or semi synthetic.

I bought Lucas 10W40 semi synthetic and Royal Purple break in oil. It is 10W30.

Please advise. Thanks.
