Can you use 10W40 instead of 10W50?

10w40 vs 10w50 10W-40 and 10W-50 engine oils are essentially made from the same base stocks and do not perform differently when used interchangeably in a vehicle that takes one or the other, as long as that vehicle was designed to take either grade of oil.

What is 10W40 oil used for?

Using the correct viscosity oil eases starting, reduces friction, and slows wear. For even more effective start-up protection, use a synthetic 10W-40 instead of a conventional 20W-50. The synthetic 10W-40 flows easily and still maintains enough viscosity to protect piston skirts and bearings when it gets hot.

How long does it take for an oil change on a triumph?

Again, yes, the oil does take some time to find it’s level. Slightly under-fill….say 3.5 litres, then run the engine (no load) for a few minutes, then switch off and wait a few minutes (tea/coffee) and finally top up to the sight glass level. I have no clue regarding filters. If in doubt, use triumph.
