Oil is kinda like beer preferences..........we all like different kinds but most get the job done.

If you are looking for a good non-synthetic, with plenty of zinc in it, I just started running the XP4 15-50 by Joe Gibbs. It was recommended to me by James Bostick so................ I didn't hesitate to buy it. Got a case of it for $100 on Amazon and I got it the next day.
