whatever oil meets spec, do not be fooled that you need "motorcycle" oil
the service interval is so low that it does not otherwise matter.

Last week they recommended Mobil 1. I run Lucas 20w 50 motorcycle full synthetic. You can buy it in 5 gallon buckets at Summit Racing. Very good stuff.

If you have any predisposition towards OCD this could be a very, very bad idea as you might drive yourself to the brink of insanity as I surely would.

Though any good quality motorcycle oil that meets the spec will do it still has to be motorcycle oil as they actually are quite different from automotive oils to withstand the different and more harsh environment of a motorcycle engine. Using automotive oil in our engines is not something I would recommend.

I have used Motul 300v racing oil. 5k is waaay too long between changes. It is very good but it doesn’t have the detergents & other stuff in it that lets synthetics go 5-10k between changes. There is a reason that race teams change oil after every race day and it isn’t because they like changing oil. Get some Motul 7100 off of Amazon. It’s what I use, good stuff.
