Welcome to the forums from sunny Florida. There are a million posts on here about Oil, whats best and who's better. If you go to the search bar and type Oil you will spend days reading about this topic. I use Redline oil and won't touch anything else. Good luck in your quest, you really can't go wrong with any of the good makers out there. Redline, Amsoil, etc etc.
