Oil FAQ sheet
Pretty good study on different grades of oils, I found this way back when I still frequented MX6.com. Gives ya something to think about before that next oil change.

I run straight up 50 weight.
Just like the faq said, the way multi grade oils work is the polimers reaction to heat. They dont help lubrication at all, so why **** with it. Just takes a little longer to warm up...

Yah I run 50w too, Glad to hear Im not the only one. I use Valvoline 50w and a PureONE Oil filter and my oil looks great at every oil change.
