No man;Colavita Extra Virgin olive oil is the way to go. ESPECIALLY in Ducatis & Guzzis. Bertolli is overrated.

BTW I was at the Bertolli factory in Italy. Have the pic, but it's on film,before digital cameras.

One that cools best and lubricates best...there are lots of them out there...just start atone end of the shelf, try it, ride for a day, then switch to the next until you find the best for your riding habits.

Or

you can use the recommended one from your dealer.

AMSOIL 20/50 everywhere on my 05 EGC. Shifts better, runs cooler, and runs great!

Ha. WTF. Another oil thread. There is an oil sub-forum with 10000 posts and this guy is too lazy to look.
Dude. Use whatever you want that meets the spec. U found that used oil works best. It's already broken in. And if you never change the filter it will filter even 2 micron sized particles.
Try the search function.
