Forza owner's manual

gn2 or someone in the know should be able to advise on this please, has the honda forza got the sh330 engine in it

Afaik the engine is based on the SH but has different valve gear and an offset cylinder.

thanks for that, i was wondering, because i could not understand why honda have doubled the oil service requirements i know that longer service intervals are a definite plus, but as the honda sh300 had 4000 mile service intervals and i think both scoots are about 1.4 ltr of oil, would it be not detrimental to the scoots health to double the intervals, i only pose this question as a technical one as i am not that oil techy myself, i suppose that if you keep an eye on the crankcase breather that it does not fill up cheers in advance to the tech guys

For me it's not about the actual engine as an oil change for me is a couple of pounds and 15 minutes, it's about being sucked into a £100 bill and hours going to a dealer and back.

Therefore the longer the interval the better .

BTW Synthetic oil (useless for running in!) lasts considerably longer than mineral or cracked (semi-synth) due to the fact that synthetic oil is pure oil, whereas mineral oil/semi is thin oil mixed with plastic thickeners - and the plastic gets shredded into varnish.
