Thanks T.P.

  This is what I use.  I just changed recently but I'll take advantage of their offer and put it on the shelf.

One is full synthetic (T6) and the other (T5) is a blend of synthetic and regular motor oil.  Don't know if one works better than the other - most seem to prefer the full synthetic.  I personally don't see the point of a blend. 

I haven't run anything but full synthetic oil in my Valk since the first change.  Same for the cages.

When I first got my Valk I was using Mobil One. About the third oil change they started adding friction stuff, so I switched to Rotella T5. It seemed to quite things down a bit. The next change Autozone was out of T5, so I went full synthetic. Slight improvement on gas mileage and a much quieter ride. I'm a believer. T6 from now on.

Thanks T.P. for piping in on this!
