Hi folks,
I have just filled my Electra with 10/40 instead of 15/40
Could this cause any problems ?
Cheers

I doubt it will cause any problems, particularly if it is a good quality synthetic or semi-synthetic oil.

From Hitchcocks catalogue :- "SILK35 - Note: Hitchcock's use 10W-40 in their Leanburn Engines". I use 10w40 in my Electra with no problems.
