What oil for Honda 4stroke?

[SliderM72]

I´m currently in El Salvador and am having a hard time finding oil for a bf130 Honda 2004 or 05. What oil could I possibly use that would be easy to obtain? Will automotive 10-40 work? Thanks

I use Valvoline semi-senthetic. So yes, automotive oil.

Honda Service Rep. recommended Castrol GTX 10W30 prior to having their own marine oil a few years back...

Any high quality 10w-40 will be fine if thats the weight Honda calls for.

Cool. I used the Castrol 10-30. Can you believe it´s about $3.50 a quart down here? Oh yeah regular gas is $2.80 a gallon too. Good thing the girls and beer are cheap.
