Just wondered what everyone thinks is the best oil that you could run in your stunt bike to make the engine last??

i run 20w 50 castrol gtx, when it gets really hot from not moving alot it doesn't brake down as easy and it stays in the top end of the engine longer, especially in the FL heat

I get amsoil from a buddy that is a dealer and I thought about mixing that lucas shit with it but my buddy said you should never mix anything with amsoil

No oil for me, ran some teflon thru the motor and now it runs great, never smokes cuz theres no oil to burn.

Ive done a lil bit of researching and it seems that ROTELLA T 15W-40 IS A GOOD CHOICE. Its made for diesel engines mainly but is also approved for gasoline engines. Its got a zinc additive in it that really helps your engine on metal to metal contact (etc). i found out that regular car oils contain friction modifiers which are bad for your engine, rotella doesnt have them...
