    +1 to Reg's thread. Amsoil, Mobil 1 (motorcycle 10w - 40 or 15w-50 car) and Shell Rotella T seem to be the most popular oils used. Pick one they are all good. In any case synthetics are the way to go....

    Full synthetic, non-moly oil, 10W-40. I like the Motul 300V but there are tons of other good options. Keep it full synthetic and stay away from car oils since they contain moly. Other than that, you should be fine.
