What Oil to use?

[TexasSpyder]

I haven't seen alot of threads on what oil to use. Do most use XPS, if not what other oils give good service? I came over from a Star Roadliner and there was alot of conversation on oil. Seems I read somewhere that there is not an aftermarket filter(s) available for Spyders.

Oh my! The Grenade is LIVE and the pin has been removed!

I'm going to dodge the oil question as I'm sure you'll get plenty of response from others. But there certainly are aftermarket oil filters available...

You're not looking. :joke:

XPS works. Amsoil's good too. Plenty others out there-- plenty of threads to find with the search engine!

I have to plug Amsoil 10/40 motorcycle oil. I think it is great oil. But to each his own. But I do buy my filters from BajaRon.

I get my oil filters and O-rings and washers from Baja Ron. I use Royal Purple 10W40 Automotive Synthetic oil. I used this oil for 40,000 trouble free (no oil issue) miles on our 2008 SE5 and now have 21,000 on our 2010 RT, same criteria. Is this the BEST oil? It is as far as I am concerned, but then, BEST is relative. Whatever oil you believe is the best oil, IS the BEST oil.
