Talk about opening "Pandora's Box".

Get ready for this and what's coming! 

Can you say "Darkside"?   This "Oil thread" will outclass that. Probably by two pages eventually.

I use "dino", screw synthetics.

The owners manual has some good guidance for what to look for in an oil. You could also stop by a bike shop and ask, they should be able to tell you
