https://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English...1_15W-50_.aspx I love it. High HP seems to make more heat, that coupled with Mobil 1 being slightly thinner than comparable brands with the same weight really makes it a good deal for me. Bumped my idle oil pressure 3-4psi too.

I use Castrol GTX... with a Mobil 1 filter. I do change it often too.

IMO as long as you stay on top of your fluid changes it really doesnt matter what brand you use... however... I think the brand of filter is more important than the brand of oil. Call me crazy but thats what I believe... thats why I use a $9-10 Mobil 1 filter.

Me too, in all my vehicles including the 13,000rpm Yamaha 450. Not so expensive that you need to feel like it has to go 10,000 miles between changes and top-notch protection.

What you guys think about the Rotella T 20w40 and just changing it twice as often I go about 1800-2k miles per change? Or do we all concur to run the Rotella full synthetic?

I broke in with Joe Gibbs, then swapped to rotella T, have run it for past 4 changes. What you think? Total of about 8k miles with rotella T.

Well...its been over a year since you started this thread....may wanna change it now

I've been using the Rotella 5/40 syn for a while now and like it a lot. Wish they made the same weight in the non syn variety, I'd run it and change it more often.
