Its time for me to put some synthetic oil in before I make the move to San Diego.

It seams like amsoil is what everyone on here recomends.

Has anyone used Rotella T because thats what my cousin uses in his. Im not sure if one is better than the other.

Use the search tool and put in 'oil'. You'll be reading for about a week,

To give a quick answer - yes. Rotella T is good as well.

Hey, will vegetable oil work, they use it in brake fluid. Or hey, hows about whale oil or fish oil. Maybe we could use sewing machine oil? Now, if price is no object we could always use crude oil as that seems to be a hot item nowadays.

Imagine the responses you would get if you decided whale oil was the way to go.
"My bike can do 30,000 miles in between Blue whales, has anyone noticed that the Minky whale oil seems to attract cats"? LOL
The only thing crude about oil Charlie is the price lol.

Fish oil is high in Omega 3, I wonder if that's good for the FZ? If anything it will lower it's cholesterol.
