    Lot's of oil threads on lots of sites. Mostly listen to the experienced 200xer's. The key is changing oil alot and often. Oil can be expesive. Everybody rides hard. We in our family ride often. Cost is a concern. I run half honda oil and half walmart oil. The lucas is my only thoughts. Have used a squirt or two in my trikes to keep the topend lubed for start-up, but am wonderin' about it blending properly and the weep holes flowing. Does anyone know how well it blends/flows for a honda/atv motor?, I'd like to know about this. Stuff is killer for cars & trucks.

    Like was said, it's more important to learn when the oil is ready to come out then what goes in. Learning how to read a dip stick saved my big block in my bronco, they are always taking ingredients out of oil and when I noticed my 460 was destroying the oil I warned my buddys. The one guy did not listen and his motor did not last the summer. Both motors were recently rebuilt and are built about the same.

    Learn to read the dip stick and you'll be better off. Smell it, look at it, touch it and soon you'll know when it is ready to come out.
