The Redline oil isnt available around here I would have to order it in.I have ordered two jugs of Maxma 100%synthetic in for the bike is this ok?? The other oils mentioned above are they car based synthetics or mototcycle synthetic? Cause if they are car based they should be easy to find here in town.

I run 5w20 Mobil1. It does breakdown after about 20 passes at the track but does help with MPH. I would switch to Syntec now.

we tried amsoil in one of the drag banshees that we used to work on a lot. i wasn't a huge fan of it, but that was in 03. i'm sure that they've made leaps and bounds since then.
