what type of oil is better

[marc_scirocco at sympatico.ca (Marc_Scirocco_Québec)]

I am using 5W50 all year round. It keeps the oil cooler, needle straight up,
instead of 3/4 to the right on my oil temp gauge.

Stock wheel w/o power, and I am gonna get me one of them Autotech close
ratio rack.

I have got all winter to get my dumbells out, and start practicing.

Cheers.

Marc
