NOOOO! Do not put 20w-40w in the final drive!!!

This bike has hypoid gears (beveled gears that create a sliding action across the teeth and therefore energy loss and a lot of heat). A 20W-40W oil will destroy those gears, it can't handle the high friction in the final drive.

You need an SAE90 Hypoid gear oil with a GL-5 rating as defined by the API (American Petrolium Institute) classification system. If you operate your bike in temperatures less than 32 degrees F (0 degrees C), you will need to use SAE80 GL-5 Hypoid gear oil.

What oil is best for a 2007 suzuki boulevard?

Use only JASO MA rated oil. Either 10w-40 or 20w-50 depending on temperature.Do not use any oil with Energy Conserving on the label it will shorten the wet clutch and gear life. Consider using synthetic oil your bike will run smoother,cooler, and shift easier. Also synthetic Hypoid gear oil will make your final drive run cooler also.
