Oh no...  Not an oil debate.

I use baby oil.  It keeps my skin sooo smooth and soft.   :roll:

Walmart 88 cents a quart Accel 10W40 oil. Not because its the cheapest, but because its the best ... its SF rated and is grey out the bottle ... whooo hooo zinc and phosphorus.
Cool.

if its still new, stick with suzuki oil for now and when you get at 5000-6000+ miles then you can switch to whatever your research leads to. I personally use Amzoil synthetic.
