I use moble 1 synthetic 15w50 in my 450es it seems to work really well.I change my oil about every 600 miles,and when I do the oil still looks like new.You can get moble 1 at walmart for about 4 bucks a quart.

Mobile 1, adn changed regularly the safety you supposedly gain from it seems to offset the cost to me. I Ride hard, the motor gets hot, and when i change it about every other month, It looks like new. Oil cheap, Motor expensive. Dont forget to check the level each ride. Im big on preventitive maintainance.
