It's also 15w40 but in SE grade Q: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B1%BD%E6%B2%B9 汽 pinyin: Qì (Wade–Giles: Ch'i)

So the QE = SE?

Still doesn't seems to have the viscosity of a 15w40

Any 15-40 should do a good job. I've used it, mostly Rotella, in many bikes from an old air cooled turbo bike to some newer performance bikes. Once broken in I might consider a synthetic motorcycle oil, not that I think a CB needs it, but with their small capacity it's cheap enough that I might do it.
