I pur suntan oil on my tires to help keep them black...J/K
Just make sure you usea motorcycle oil since they are formulated for that use...car oil is designed for pistons...motorcycles use it for pistons, clutch, and transmissions..
This topic is going to open an old can of worms on the "Great Oil Debate" as which one is best...as long as you are using a quality oil, there are no BAD oils..

Oil preference is like a butthole.....everyone has one.

Just as it was mentioned as long as you use a quality motorcycle oil you will do fine.

(in no particular order)
Silkolene
Motul
Amsoil
Golden Spectro
Respol
Castrol
Mobil 1
Motorex
PJ1
Maxima
Redline.............the list goes on and on.
