oil
Bluejean,
The last time some one asked this it ended up in a 50 some page train wreck of a thread.
Look at the casing near the engine number and you will see that the manufacture calls for 30W non detergent oil.
You can also use a blended more modern oil formulated for the wet clutch with good success.
Some here would argue that the detergents of modern oils "MAY" suspend the particles not allowing the oil spinner to work properly. To offset that concern; why not change oil more frequently?
IMHO, either oil will work well as they are designed to do. The bottom line is that you get to decide for yourself which is best for you. Welcome to the madhouse,,,,,,, Rusty
