I have run 10w40 in both my 95 VT1100 and my 07 VTX1300. just be sure to change the filter too and make sure the oring gasket on the filter is set correctly in the end of the filter. Lube the ring just like you would a car oil filter.
I run Valvoline or Honda oil when on sale.
The type of oil grade to use on a VT1100 Honda shadow is 10w 40. There are several brands available that carry this weight and the best choice depends on the riders choices themselves.
I had an 1986 Honda shadow VT1100 (loved it) and I ran mid grade with no problems. You can run 87 octane with no problems.
How much oil does a 2005 Honda shadow Sabre vt1100 and what type should you use
It really is best to get the pre-mix from your Honda dealer. Can't go wrong with this.
10w40
An 87 Honda Shadow is a cruiser-type motorcycle made by Honda since 1983. It has an oil capacity of 3.3 quarts.
I would use the Honda pre-mix.
The manual calls for Pro Honda GN4 or HP4 (without molybdenum additives).
The type of coolant that goes into a Honda Shadow 750 Spirit is Prestone Pre-Mixed 50/50. Do not use regular anti freeze.
10w40 will be fine.
