GTX 20/50 mixed with lucus oil stabilizer. From the all of the test (oil) done on mc oil vs standard oil. There has been no major differences noted. I have yet to read about an all syn same/simular weight compro. I have about 45000 miles on my 98 zx9r, that's racing/riding miles(city/hi). I started using this combo around the 10,000 mile mark.

To answer the question about using 0W oil.
Grade/weight of oil - Viscosity (flowability) is how to measure the shear strength of a thin layer of oil. A bearing works by using a thin layer of oil not by the oil pressure generated by the pump. If you use too high a weight oil the layer will not form fully or may not get into the bearing at all. If you use too low a weight the layer will not give the bearing the proper protection. Bottom line, make sure you stay within the manufactures recommended ranges. If your willing to sacrifice a little power for protection, go for it!
As for full synthetic brands, if you're changing your oil within the manufactures recommendations ALL full synthetics are overkill. It's just a matter of personal choice.
Doug - "(Alisyn, Amsoil, etc.) This never ceases to amaze me. Do you really think that these small companies can comeup with a better product than a large multi national company." Amsoil wrote the book on full synthetic oil. In EVERY test I've ever seen, Amsoil has the BEST performance data there is, even better then Mobil 1.
