What oil are you using for your 1330 engine?? Tips & hints on oil change?

[bikerbillone]

Oh yes, what McRuss said, but anyone that has changed the oil knows the problems of the OEM drain plugs. On my first oil change, I replaced them with LaMonster's gold plugs, makes oil changes a breeze.

Just curious when was the last time anyone on the forum heard of an engine issue due to the oil they used?

With the Spyder it will be the clutch/transmission that gos out first because of the wrong oil; and yes it happens.

Sorry, my point was to clarify using any oil that meets the specs required, from the lowest priced to the highest priced, from manufacturer's recommended to supposed far better oils from a spec sheet point, from a lab tested sample to what ever, use what you feel comfortable with is what I meant, oil threads are always interesting and the opinions are endless.

I like that question, lets rip it apart.
And if you did how would you prove it was the oil?
Could they be selling differently labeled containers with the same contents?
What if all engine damage was from manufacturing variations.
Could it be speed limits determine engine longevity not oil quality?
Do oil filters release black dye to brainwash you?
