I feel that would be to thin unless you live in a cold environment.I run 10w40 conventional motorcycle oil or 15w40 diesel oil.The diesel oil route is cheaper than moto oils.Avoid car oil as they have friction modifiers that can cause the clutch to slip and burn up.I am experimenting with 20w50 V twin full synthetic oil.So far it's not stellar in my V Star after 900 miles.

06-05-2013, 12:27 AMI don't have a Dong Fang. I live in Hawaii on the Big Island of Hawaii. It is now 2:23PM, and at 2:15 we had a 5.something earthquake. Shook my house pretty good. Here I can easily run 15W-40 or 20W-50 even, as the temp never gets below maybe 60 degrees. When I lived in the Puget Sound area of Washington State one bike I had was a KLR650 Kawasaki. I rode in year round even down to 25 degrees. Once I tried 15W-40, instead of the normal 10W-40 I ran in it, and the 15W-40 made the bike have a very scary knock. Went back to the 10W-40, and no more problem. Harely's run 20W-50 even in the cold.

Hey Churk,
I'm still around reading post. I just haven't been able to save enough to buy new tank. But as you know here in fl I can ride year round. So I'm just tring to get the bike paid off. I said that before and just kept buying things. So now that I can't ride I'm sticking to my guns and paying it off. My brother had me pull it out the other day so his daughter could take a picture with it. But I still come read post I just don't comment as much because I don't have the bike running. But soon as I get tank and battery ill be posting photos and writing more. Till then I'm listening.2010 Dong Fang 250RTB

06-05-2013, 06:03 AMSorry Bro, wish I could tell you.
All I did was take the original one down to Oreilly auto parts and they gave me a better one. The best they had was actually red in color and I told them that would not work for me. Has to be black. But looking at posts from the pasts I have to say that ANYTHING American made will be better than stock. At least this one has reinforcement threading.

06-05-2013, 06:15 AMOne thing I forgot to mention axa is that when I got mine from the parts store I told them I needed one that worked with high tempretures. Just something to keep in mind. If all else fails you can always block the darn thing I guess. I havent had any issues with my replacement.
I did look at the markings on mine if that will help:
"Fuel vapor > PCV / EEC < 3/8"
