            @irongamer727 your being wayyy too picky with your oil just grab some for wet clutches at a good price I’ve used the cheapest oil money can buy in my 4 stroke and I liked the stuff the best cheap oil I used was Tesco’s own brand it was genuinely good oil

              I mean, I wouldn't put cheap stuff in, but I wouldn't overthink it either.

                @calum yeah but there’s really not much into it especially for a 2 stroke I’m just saying some of the best oil I’ve had was Tesco’s and that wasn’t dirt cheap but was still an ok price

                  @declan Good oil can and will prolong the life of the engine. That's my only concern.
                  Cheap oil, no thanks.

                    @irongamer727 like your ever going to tell, but if you want the best of the best they buy the most expensive oil you can find then I guess there’s no room for doubt

                      Its almost impossible to wear out the transmission on our bikes, so its fine as long as it meets the specifications.
                      I cant remeber the interval for changing the oil, but its rediciously high. Most will change it way before, so the oil have an easy life. Just about any oil on the marked will exceed the specifikations on our bikes, which were basically designed in the 80's.

                      So yeah, dont overthink it. 🙂
