I've now used Spectro Gold 4 stroke oil, Mobil 1 synthetic 4 stroke motorcycle oil, and right now I'm using Havoline 10w-40 (my clutch got smoked and sent debris all over so I'm using the Havoline kind of like a flush with only a tank of gas being run through it two times over with a filter change after each). The Mobil 1 was $8 a quart out here and I didnt notice any difference what so ever. I'll be trying Maxima next I think.

You should not be changing brands. Some additive packages are not compatable with each other and can if you keep changing brand you might find out which ones. This can cause seals to swell or the oil to guup. You should stick to one brand.

Thats a good point and I didnt really think about that. I would however like to find the brand for &quot;me.&quot; Before to long here the Mojave's going to need new seals and a top end anyways and I'll have picked a brand that I like. I forsee a 330cc big bore in its future too, ooooh...
