Oils aint oils!
G'day guys and girls
I've read a lot of threads on this forum and I've noticed that almost everybody likes to give an opinion. Which I love, coz I enjoy hearing what people have to say.
So here's a perfect chance for you to give one.
What (in your opinion) is the all-time best, can't-be-beat, top notch, ultimate engine oil for me to use in my 2001 F4i?
I'm about to do an oil & filter change and I have my own preferences of course but I'd really like to hear yours.
GO!

The important thing is to get oil that is specified for use with a wet clutch.
On the back, in the long list of approvals, look for a JASO-MA (could be labled JASO- MA1 or MA2).
Not all motorcycle oils are for wet clutch bikes, and some auto oils are (mostly diesel oils). Make sure to get the right stuff!!

I'm new to riding but not to motors. I always do full synthetic in the OEM recommended weight. It saves money in the long run as you can run full synthetic for ~6k instead of ~3k miles with conventional. Semi-synthetic is a good middle ground in terms of performance and cost and it's certainly much better than using conventional.
My $0.02, YMMV.
