Lucas 10w40 non-synthetic. I like how everyone is actually just answering the question and not getting in a fight like usual. *knock on wood*

[Thumpin440ex]

Rotella here also. Did some reading and talked to a few big engine guys. It is good chit. I used to run castrol, but switched to this in everything.

The Rotella T5 10w30 that is currently in my quad is semi-synthetic (synthetic blend).

[400exrip]

I run the 15w 40 Royal Purple Synthetic.

I think currently I have some Mobil 1 10w30 in, found it in the garage. Have some rotella I found on a shelf and will run it next. Liked the rotella in my dirtbike, seemed to smooth out the clutch and transmission.

[crownandmonster]

I run 15w- 40 rotella in the quad and actually run the rotella t6 5w-40 full synthetic in my gasser pick up. Diesel oils still have high quantities of zinc in them, which is very good for wear protection/ lubrication.

[Drfat400ex]

Same as finster for me! Valvoline 10W30 or 10W40, whichever seems to be handy, works fine and it's not crazy expensive or nothing.

I've been running Redline Motorcycle Oil(black bottle) for quite some time. It seems to run and shift better. Oil comes out much cleaner than anything else I've used. Virtually no valve tick even.

I've used Honda and Amsoil synthetic in the past. When I lost 3rd gear, I split cases and my halves smelled like a sewer plant. That was enough with the amsoil for me.

A google search a while back brought me to a car forum where a member posted this review. Pretty interesting to see what faired well and what didn't.

Honda oil or valvaline, any kind of wet clutch oil works for me. but I stick with honda just to be safe

[dxcody]

I always ran quakerstate 10-40 in mine.

Rotella is what i would have ran but my dad always had valvoline and quakerstate stocked in the shop.
