    I like the valvoline 10w-40 ATV oil they sell it at walmart . but when I can't get that I run 10w-40 castor oil the main thing is just do not run synthetic oil.

    I buy the atv transmission oil they sell at Walmart. Designed for wet clutches, all that good stuff. Kinda expensive but might be worth it? Only Barnett would know.

    Does it seem like we have discussed this before? I'm getting a sense of deja vu.

    BelRay Thumper oil in all 3 of my 350X's. It even works in those big stupid 2-wheelers.

    Most any oil 10W-30 or 40 will work as long as you don't use synthetic or part synthetic.

    That's all the input I can give you. Gotta run cause I have to log on to a gun forum and ask if 9mm or .45 is better for self defense.

    seems a lot of people complain on here when you ask questions that have been covered before. I apologize for asking something that's been answered in the past, but i have lots of other things besides 3ww going on. no time to read through pages of posts for a simply answered question...

    Well, yes and no.
    There are people who have answered the same few questions a dozens of times in the past.
    Specifically in this case, there are more threads on type / brand / weight of oil than any other topic on this site - by far.
    Bottom line is you did get several good answers / options on your question.

    I use Rotella or Valvoline VR1 10/30. They took out zink/moly and I have cams in my motors so I need all the lube I can get.

    Sometimes I even spit on my dipstick for more lube....

    Old thread, but is Just the Regular Rotella T triple protection ok, or am i supposed to be using the T6 which is synthetic i believe. I bought 2 quarts of the Regular rotella T bc they didnt carry the T6 which i thought is what was recommended by most. Oh BTW its for an 85 200X

    i like to use straight up pensoil 10w-40. the old school stuff. still in every auto parts store. will work great and ensure no issues.
    if not available, Castrol GTX 10w-40. as stated no synthetic.
