Wich oil to use??

Hello every budy

I just got 500 ¿km? (i am not sure if my odometer counts or kilimeters) and it is time to make first oil change...

I can easily get Maxima oil in my work, so i got these options
MAXUM-4 SYNTHETIC BLEND 20W50
MAXUM-4 EXTRA 15W50 100% syntetic
MAXUM ULTRA 0W30 100% syntetic
http://www.maximausa.com/shopping/in...=index&cPath=1

Wich one would you recomend me to use?? i was thinking take 15w50 100% syntetic but i must ask you first... our temperature is between 9 to 33 ºc...

How can i know if my odometer is kilometer or miles??
actually i have gotten 270+ with out recharge gas.. it should give 43 km per liter but im not sure..

Most CB speedos are in KPH. See if you can go 90. If you can you can bet its KPH!

Pete, if possible get a NGK DR8EIX iridium plug, the better one, believe it will prove it!!!

Thanks every budy..

do you remember i was going to change oil last monday?? if rain let me do... it was the biggest storm by months just that afternon...

here a couple o pics i took when i arrived home. they were taken a block away from home...





Finally i changed oil for Maxima EXTRA 15W50... the old oil was not too dirty, i tough it would be with more "metal" in it.. but was "clean" i realize the motor had just a little more than half a litter :( i put a litter complete and marks where just a little up where they were... don`t know why...

I have not changed spark (did not find the right tool in home, i hope take borrow the right one today in work)

Saludos!!
