Thanks! I am going to get a lube/filter and grease done and go
to Mobil 1 for it.
I like Mobil 1. I run it in my Honda Valkyrie too and it is
very happy with it.
What do you guys run for oil? Or is that a dangerous question to
ask around here? LOL!!

You're right, oil is a hot button with some people. I don't think you can
go wrong with Mobil 1 5W-30 or 10W-30. The 0W-30 is not quite as robust for
some reason. It does not seem to protect as well--and seems to result in
higher wear numbers. I don't know what kind of oil change intervals you
want to run, but if you are changing at 5k or less, conventional oil might
be more cost effective. Chevron and Pennzoil are two of the better
conventional oils. I am currently running conventional oil, but I have
heard good things about the Mobil 1 0W-20, and may try it in my '02 Accord.
