I run Castrol GTX 20-50 in mine. I ran HD 360 20-50 dino in my Sporty for 23 years, and its good also. I love oil threads.

Whatever is in the shop at time. I change the oil so often it really doesn't matter what brand I use. Viscosity is the only determing factor to me. I never use synthetic. Too expensive for the short period of time it is in my engine.
