I´m from the northern part of Nigeria in the west African Sahara part. Temperature here can get up to 45 degrees Celsius in mid summer. What specification of engine oil should I use for my yamaha R1 2005 model? I once read a manual which indicates that 20w40 SE can be used for 5 degrees above but here we only have 20w50 4T for four stroke engine can I use it for my bike?
