The internet exists for TWO reasons:
1. ****
2. Arguing about oil

It'd be a lot more fun to argue about which **** is the best wouldn't it?

Is 3 in 1 oil still made?
That could be used for everything, just like duct tape.
Mama used to use castor oil on the youngins every day.

Mystik JT8 15w50 semi syn diesel oil, made by Citgo.
I have used this oil exclusively for at least the last 20,000 plus miles and have done no less then 5 UOAs with excellent results.
If it matters I now have about 27,000 miles on the bike and has never needed a repair.
I use Formula+ in the primary and transmission.
