What Kind Of Oil Does The TaoTao TBR7 Take? – FAQ

by

For my TBR7 motorcycle, I only use motorcycle-rated wet-clutch certified(JASO MA or MA2) 15w40 oil.

If you were interested in the actual product I use, it’s the Shell Rotella T6 oil. I buy these in-gallon jugs to save money and make sure I have a good oil supply for quick oil changes( FAQ: What Is The TaoTao TBR7’s Oil Capacity ).

Note: During the break-in period of the TBR7 motorcycle, I used the conventional version of the Shell Rotella oil, T4. After the break-in period, I now use Shell Rotella T6, a fully synthetic version of oil.

Hi I’m Tom, A New Motorcycle Rider and Blog Author.

I am a new motorcycle rider(Pa Motorcycle Learner’s Permit at the end of 2020, and I received a full M-Class Pa Motorcycle License in 2021, only after passing the Pa Motorcycle Safety Course).

I bought my first motorcycle, a TaoTao TBR7 (A Chinese Dual-sport motorcycle), at the beginning of 2021 and have been doing upgrades on that motorcycle since.

I added to my motorcycle collection by buying a Boom Vader Gen 2 motorcycle in 2022, and that little Grom-Clone bike has been upgraded by me as well.

I continue to ride my Boom Vader Gen 2 motorcycle as well as my TaoTao TBR7 dual-sport bike.
