I run the cheapest motor oil I can find from the store.

I have been doing this for 4-5 years now.

I put close to 100hours of riding down a year divided by 3 machines.

so my method has 400 hours of riding proven and Iv only changed 1 clutch on 1 machine and that's because I was doing full throttle 2nd gear drag launches for 3 years.

the best oil is CLEAN oil, run which ever oil you can change regularly as long as it doesn't have additives its all good!!Rotella for me, I change my oil a lot and wouldn't want to be spending 10 bucks a week on oil, Id rather save that for gas
