Default which oil for race&pads

Hello everyone. Just wondering what you guys recommend for oil brand and viscocity for a ccs race i have at homestead next weekend. Keep in mind the temps here are very hot and muggy.Also im running double h pads ebc for race day. I was told they where good,but should i change the fluid also. my bike has the blue teflon lines already. Any advice and help will be appreciated.

first of all your gonna get a zillion different opinions on oils cause it all comes down to preference...i used motuls but have heard great things about mobile 1

as far as pads go...HRC hands down are the BEST pads around but be ready to drop about $100...i have the soft bite and let me tell ya how amazing they are!!! (hard bits are also produced)

as far as brake fluid goes...that is a must i changed my with ATE SUPER BLUE RACING FLUID DOT4 and let me tell ya what a HUGE difference it made...i even had to change my brake lever from level 1 to level 2 cause it would bit so hard

basically ive had great results with the products i listed above and i think that you would too

ps. check out the search button as well...it works wonders

Motul 300V Full Synthetic oil is what I have used for years. 10W40 is a good viscosity to use. EBC HH brake pads also work well. As far as brake fluid, Motul RBF 600 DOT 4 is one of the best.
