Hey guys. i'm new to the forums. I just got a 2010 Special Edition late last summer and i'm ready for my first oil change. i'm sure this has been addressed a million times, but the search function doesnt seem to be working on this site.

My question is whether CAM2 SuperPro Plus Synthetic Blend 10W-40 is safe to use in the bike? The service manual calls for API SE, SF, or SG. This oil is API SM which is newer than those ratings. Since its designed for automotive engines, I just figured I would ask you opinion before putting it in. Not sure if I need to go fully synthetic or go with something designed for motorcycles since its much higher revving than a car. thanks for the help.
