Brand/weight Of Oil

[glideman]

What brand and weight of oil do you use? Synthetic or regular? I use Castrol 20w50 all year in Florida. But, was curious about switching to a synthetic oil.

For people who are curious, I searched and couldn't find anything....here's a list of cross referenced oil filters we can use on our Hawk. I now use the Supertech from Wal-mart....

I will never again, goto a dealer to buy a filter and dino oil (non-syn) for $25 ever again.....Well, at least they helped me get a part number so I can cross reference stuff....the info:

These Oil Filters
have 20 x 1.5mm threads,
14 psi by-pass valve,
anti-drain back valve,
2.3" O.D. gasket
2.5" to 3.5" long.
If you have the room, I recommend the longer filters.

Auto Zone carries Mobil 1 synthetic motorcycle oil, 10W40 or 20W50 for about $7.50/quart.

I've never used Amsoil, but some people will use nothing else. Mobil 1 has always worked for me.

$7.25 per qt. might as well buy Redline for a dollar more...haha just kidding....or am I?

I'll stick with the Honda 10W40 from the stealership.
