use the search button in the upper left corner. Oil has been discussed over and over and over again. Type, weight, synth vs non-synth is all already discussed just find it.

20w50 amsoil here. I don't think you can go wrong with redline or royal purple either, but I stay away from Mobil1. A couple of the guys above mention it (15w50 is usually mobil1) but i wont use it again. I've torn down a couple of motors (mine and a few friends) and didnt like the abnormal wear i saw. Not 100% sure if it was the oil of course, but I am sticking with amsoil

castrol gtx 10 30... when it starts to get really hot, which is soon, i might switch to 20 50. maryland weather is freakin cold in the winter and then humid and disgusting like hell in the summer.

20-50. Do a search on fuel dilution, 10-30 will turn into water quickly.

Mainly on the irons. One motor had some serious wear on the rotor bearings and e shaft lobes as well. These were all "professionally" built motors.
