Hi  I think that  Castrol Edge Titanium 5/40  is a car diesel engine oil?  In which case it will have additives that may cause your clutch plates to stick together. If you are using the clutch to change and also when stationary engaging a gear would be more diffic...

As long as you are not making the engine work ( eg just maintaining a constant speed on a level road) it will have little effect  just remember you have far less control.  You engine braking and next to no acceleration if needed. You may get better fuel return but if I wanted bette...

Where visibility and road conditions allow obvs in case someone needs to state the bleeding obvious.  “ABS pro” shouldn’t be needed as it means you’re going faster than you can see to be clear   Interesting writing on Facebook about emergency situations (cornering) and human react...
