How much do you want to spend? Do you want synthetic or regular? As long as you run a oil made for motorcylces/atvs you are fine. I currently run amsoil 20w50 in my 440 stroker since it gets into 90s-100s in summer. Depending how cold it gets Ill run 10w40. I have run several other oils but amsoil has been by far the best to me. The engine runs quieter and a little cooler. It costs a little more but in my opinion its worth it. Just make sure if you decide to get it to get the one for motorcycles/atvs.

I've always ran GN-4 in my stroker. 10w-40 when it's below 80-85 and 20w-50 when it gets hot.

I'm going to do an oil change today, going to try Honda HP4 this time around. 10w-40

yeah i just switched from 10w-40 to 20w-50 and I noticed my motor isnt nearly as hot and it cools down much faster after riding.

I am running Redline 10W30 in winter and 10W40 in summer. If I were riding in extreme heat, I would run Maxima 15W50.....all ester synthetics!
