I have been using good old Castrol GTX 20W-50. I have never had any problems with it thus far...so why switch? With my new motor, I asked my builder which oil to run, dino or synth. and he told me to stick with dino, and that the synth oil is too thin and would make a very miniscule crack in a seal leak oil, he said synth would burn fine and that it would run smoother, but at a price. I would rather keep my motor running as long as possible, so I stuck with the same old ****.



I run Redline in my tranny and my diff. I like it better than whatever was in there, but I have never compared it to any other companies, such as Neo, Royal Purple, etc....

Omega website

SpeedMaster

NUTEC

http://www.nutec-usa.com/main.htm



Regarding the WAKOS oil,...I heard that WAKOS is a division of some company here in the US. And for some strange reason, that is why WAKOS is not here in the US. I'll have to research this some more, to see where I heard this from.



Regarding NUTEC, Veilside uses NUTEC (well,...they at least use their race fuels, although I do notice they also offer oils).



I'm sure we can talk about oils until we are all blue in the face. Personally, I'm going to use run NEO completely. I've had good experiences w/ their oils in the past.

Curios, we all know the rotor, sips a little oil. How many miles is normal to consume a pint?

I think NUTEC has oils, but a very small amount, and also some additives like you mentioned, but im not 100%. I didnt look into it much since I didnt plan to ever import/export it.



Yeah I hear you DOM



I like my Speedmaster and until I see the damage from lubricants if any, im not going to change hehe
