What Motor Oil ?

[Moto]

I just had a quick delivery of a 12-bottle case from Motocarr, for $134.99 with shipping. That's $11.25 per liter.

A quote from the ENI website: "In North America Eni markets directly lubricants and special products."

The link at ENI North America is https://buyenilubes.com/index.php/shop/motorcycle-engine-oils/eni-i-ride-78.html - currently a case of 12 costs $120, which is fairly reasonable if not actually cheap. At that price I might but there, though it's always nice to be able to buy the LiquiMoly at the local NAPA store.

i am a new owner of a 1962 Moto Guzzi Lodola 235. Can someone tell me the best motor oil to use? I'm assuming straight 30wt but would like to hear from someone that knows more than me.
Also, the dipstick is on a screw cap on the sump. the stick slides up and down thru the cap. i assume there was originally a float that slid the stick up or down indicating oil level. any ideas on what to use for new float??
Really appreciate any help, thoughts , ideas.
best to all.

I had to goggle that, cool bike! Congrats! I'd start a new thread for that question so the dudes that know don't have to scroll through two pages. We like photos too! Good Luck with your new bike!

Ask on the Guzzi single cyl. group, there will be some owners with info.  Valvoline VR1 claims to have more of the zinc-phosphor anti-scuffing agents that are favored for non-roller cams.  No-doubt there are other brands.
