What to buy?
What synthetics do you have available where you live in the 20W-50 Viscosity?

I am sure www.amsoil.com can ship you 20W-50 Severe Service Racing. I don't know what the shipping costs would be however.

In most of Europe Shell Helix is available and supposed to be real good as Ferrari uses it.

Isn't Amsoil the one to go for?

Is there a difference between M-1's V-twin and their Racing 4T? Autozone had both hiding on a high-up shelf, but I didn't compare prices. A few months ago I read this entire thread (took me days), but I can't remember if the Racing 4T was covered.
For now, with 1100+ hrs I can go with Kendall GT1...50 weight right?

I would go with either Kendall GT1 40W or 20W50, not straight 50W.

Thanks guys. I knew it was the 20w50 but too lazy to type it
But do they make both the multi-vis and a straight 50? I would think 1100hrs would be loose enough for a 50wt. I don't think it's quite broken in enough to use a synthetic yet
