AMSOIL Formula 4-StrokeĀ® 0W-40 Synthetic

OR

Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40 Motorcycle Oil


I personally use mobil 1. In my opinion these are the best two.

I just bought some klots to try out. I use it in my 2 stroke just ski and its done well, figured I'd try out the 4 stroke stuff.

I ordered the stock weight... is the 0w 40 better?
