The one main thing about using any oil in your bike is to make sure it meets or exceeds all specs, SAE, viscosity all that junk and make sure you change it at recommended levels. Its not about the brand name you use it’s about how you maintain it. Dino, syn who cares, do what you want its your bike.

Maybe I have missed it but I have never see a thread on what brand name gas to use so why should oil be any different????

Why not just use the whole snake? The smaller ones fit right into the filler hole and the snakeskin prevents breather blow-by!
