Greetings All,
If one wishes to use Castrol, try the 4T four stroke motorcycle oil in
20w/50. It is rated SG and SH. Regular GTX 20w/50 is new formula. Syntec
20w/50 should be OK but seems harder to find and might cost more. In the UK,
you have Castrol Classic which should be fine.

Subject: Re: [Mgs] Oil Question
Chad,
I too have been pouring through all the data on oils. I went to my
local, low key. top notch car. old style car shop. It is a
backstreet place with all sorts of goodies and very good prices. I
asked them if they had Valvoline VR1 because no other "oil" shops had
it. Yes, they said and led me to a stack of it. "All the race
guys use this", he said. To which I replied "sold". While doing
up my bill he mentioned that the chap next door, an incredibly well
known breather on heads, uses nothing else. It was more than enough
to convince me.
I had tried the Castrol web site - but when I asked the simple
question of which oil they recommended or which oil had the most ZDDP
- all I got was gobbledegook from their "technical" dept.
