I run redline in trans and primary because they are available or I have time to order them. But Amsoil and Redline have been a pain to get so I switched to Mobile 1 V-Twin 20W 50. You can get it in Walmart or a gas station and most Automotive stores.
Yeah, and almost as old as this 23 year old thread....

FWIW... the member you were answering hasn't posted on here since 2017... but he may still see your advice..

I am not a mathematician so I was worried I might be caught in a time warp and missed 10 good years. But nope, I just forgot them.
