Another oil thread.

I moved your post to the oil section, although, the primary is different for a sporty then a BT model.

Use the search function. Words like "Primary" and "Oil*" (include the little ditty as 3 word requests won't work) and you'll find hours of reading, for your entertainment and lubrication knowledge.

There's been countless threads regarding the "best" oil to use, which is subjective, at best, depending on who you ask.

I usually reply "Baby" only because it's fun to watch them squeeze the babies, to get the oil.

B.O. is considered to be in the 5w-20 family, unless it has poo in it, from accidental over-squeeezing.....

Then it's more like a straight 30wt........
