They take a lot of oils same as your car. I use castrol GTX in my DF 70.

My Suzuki mechanic uses Mobil Super 1000 15 W40, this is the one he says is approved by Suzuki, so I am advised.

Suzuki also have their own brand synthetic oil, made for them by Motul. 10W40 I believe, but pretty xy.

Are you sure its not just the oil light flashing which means service time

It would have been a oil change reminder lights, just use a good 15w40 oil the same as you would in any modern multi-valve car engine. I always used Castrol Magnatec now Iv,e changed to Repco Modern engines semi synthetic.
