This is about my V7C but I'm posting here as I don't think it's specific to small blocks.
The handbook says the final drive oil should be "AGIP gear MG 85w140". As far as I can see the "MG" isn't a general grade for gear oil, it's specific to AGIP and Moto Guzzi! http://www.americanagip.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=33 The AGIP web site for the UK doesn't even list this oil so far as I can see. It's easy to buy stufff in bottles labelled "shaft drive oil", but that seems to be 80w90.
From an old sales receipt (from my local Guzzi dealer, sadly out of business) I see he supplied "EP 85w140". Brand was Rock Oil. Can I assume anything that says EP on the label (and the right weight, obviously) will be correct?
