well after lots of reading on street bike forums i see most guys are running Mobil1 MX4T 10W40 oil, Amsoil 10W40 and a few guys run Castrol 20W50 for hot weather areas with frequent oil changes.
now being the cheap ass i am i always ran the Castrol 20W50 in my banshee and changed the oil every other dune trip and never had any issues.
but with the R1 motor i bought what Weller recomended(Torco T4R 10W40). now with i need to change oil this weekend in the dunes to get rid of my startup oil and want to make sure i use the correct oil.
i understand with the R1 in a UTV it will get hotter and have less airflow than in a bike, so should i be a cheapo and run Castrol 20W50 or run the good stuff?
also how often should i change oil with the good stuff?
