The Dreaded Oil Thread

Greetings:

Few topics generate more controversy than a rider's choice of oil. Real data is scarce. Anecdotes abound. Recent engine failures attributable to oil prompt the question: what is the choice of the Cognisenti?

I just recently bought my elite and put castrol syntec I was kind of worried about putting synthetic in such a old motor 20,000mi but so far so good

The poll question should be best oil for premix, or best for injector.... do I make sense?

Greetings:

You make perfect sense, but this poll asks what you use, not what you believe is "best". Get your own poll.

Four-strokers and other Philistines may comment if you must, but pre-mixers and auto-lubers preferred.(that sounds vaguely suggestive, don't it?)

well I use both so hah! I need my vote back..

Running basic Castrol 2t oil (pepboys stocks it) in all my injected bikes

and Caster927 for the premixers

GN2 is overhyped and quite subpar imo

I used to use GN-2 when I could get it. Otherwise, it was Castrol injector oil. Now, my friend decides to tell me(after we've been BEST friends for 7 years) that the 55 gallon drum in his pole barn was full of AmsOil injector oil he runs in his sleds, I now got 5 milk jugs full in the garage.

So I use AmsOil. It makes more smoke than usual in my Aero, but it doesn't stink like two stroke. And, doesn't foul the plug, still brown...
