T__ Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hans, unfortunately you will not get an answer here that doesn’t have a conflicting answer above & below it.. Here is the last year of oil threads from this site & unfortunately there is no common answer.. Be sure to click the NEXT at the bottom of the page so you see all the oil threads..

ShovelStrokeEd Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I tend to favor slippery stuff with some additives in it, liquid, if at all possible with a viscocity of less than my age. Actually the multigrade oils come closer as they more closely approximate my mental-physical age. Link to comment
kopov260 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Look at the owner's manual. I use what the manual tells me. Link to comment
Ken H. Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Oil is like religion, everyone has their own position on it and few people will convert another to their's. Link to comment
St0nkingByte Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I just switched from Castrol Syntec (half and half) 20w-50 to Mobile 1 full synth 15w-50 because I was at Wal-Mart, it was all they had for the RT that wasn't purely cheap dino oil and I didn't feel like going anywhere else to get it! Also the Mobile 1 tastes best. Link to comment
