Semi-synth (Shell Advance) OK for DR650?

[Ratsalad]

I asked this weekends visitors to bring me some goodies so I can service the bike. He got Shell Advance. I know it's expensive and overkill and all that but I have it now and want to use it.
Should I?

how many km's on the bike?

what is the viscosity of the oil?

should work a charm

shell advance is shells motorcycle oil

so it will meet and exceed all the specifications set out by the manufacturer

you can use it - nothing to worry about

ICM the bike is on 20K and it's 15W-50.
BobNob, thanks, he got it because there's a bike on the container - didn't look at the price/spec etc!

how much did it cost?

and where did he get it?

I think he said about R300 for 4L at AutoZone - probably Strand. I'll only have the exact price when it gets here tonight.

I use it in my Ducati recomended by Ducati expensive but good should work fine.

Expensive but good. My DR's do 100000km+ on Caltex Delo Gold which is half price.
Used Total Quartz 9000 synth. for a while, also fine.
