im more into protection then the cheap stuff .. but thanks for postin
I have been running tusk in everything we have off road for several years. When I tare the motors back down I can't tell any difference than when I ran a $12.00 filter. Believe me I have plenty of race motors to keep up and that 10 bucks I save every oil change has more than paid for itself.
I found out about the rotella from recluse....never really thought about it but it's good stuff.
so you say you are more into protection why would you buy a $12.00 filter and then put in $3 oil? Don't make much since...I would never run conventional oil with a air cooled motor and wet clutch...it's gonna fome up and break down.

I run either castorl 4 stroke oil or the valvoline 4 stroke oil from auto zone or o'reilly's. Also 20-50 in summer and 10-40 in winter. Never had any problems. If I had a expensive motor built i'd prolly run alil different oil. Prolly what the engine builder recomm.
