SkooterG's blend.......... crisco, baby oil for start-up and Vaseline for smoothness....

with two shot glasses of Amsoil....

And change it every 4000 miles. Frequency trumps fashion when it comes to oil....

Forget all the concern over 10W40 or 20W40 or spending mega dollars for specialty boutique oils. Buy the 15W40 Rotella/Delo/Delvac oils marketed as "diesel oils" and forget about it. The so called diesel oils have much higher levels of the ZDP antiwear additives and no friction modifiers to cause your wet clutch to slip with time and miles.

Shell Rotella-T 5W-40 Synthetic
Thats what I use-engine purrs like Howie's *****-and I can just feel my lifters pump up faster..
5-40 eh?? once I run synthetic I need to stick to it right?
NO

use 15W40 Rotella/Delo/Delvac oil

There has already been a lot written about this topic that is why it has been moved to NERPT and why you are not getting a lot of serious answers. Check out the Bin O Facts and read everything Jestal posted on oil.
