    :lever: IMGP0299.jpg I think just like air pressure in a tire, adj how you think it will run best, not how it gets the best fuel economy. I would guess a 10-50w syn would have plenty of flow rate to keep a engine running cool. This isn't a super thick oil like 30w dino oil. I got bigger worry s today-Mz Ceasar just had two Flame point kittens-more is maybe on the way. She is doing ok. Those are the rarest Top show kittens in maine.

    You need to switch to nitrogen in your tires.

    In the event of a Zombie Apocalypse, I will be heading to Maine with a skewer in one hand and BBQ sauce in the other.

    From my info Castrol power rs 10-50rt syn at $7 a qt is super oil to run in the vfr, I bought 0-40, 10-40 and 10-50. I figured I could mix it a bit and make my own custom blend. I ran 0-40 ran perfect. I am running 1qt of 10-40, 2.3qts of 10-50 and a extra large purculator oil filter seems to be running excellent. I just put in a new air filter too. The extra margin 10-50 does nothing but help. Look at the review on amazon. It is a racing oil so it should be changed a bit early maybe but has the highest rating m. As usual I answer my own Questions.!:bull_head::chaingun:

    For my cats I prefer Meowmix, though in a pinch I can go with Purina. Oh, sorry, wrong thread... Jesus. Use ANY Jaso or MA approved oil, you will be ok. Where's Billy?

    Lurking. Waiting for SOW to start in with real cats then shift to that other surrogate pussy he's into.

    Any one tried used fish and chip oil? I've seen a Honda run successfully on that before. I'm not sure of the SAE or JASO rating of it though. It may depend if it was vegetable or animal oil.

    at about the 2 min 50 second mark.

    Of course you must consider your personal circumstances when deciding on used cooking oil for your motorcycle engine.
