save your money and don't spend it on royal purple engine oil....just use regular oils. That cost can go toward other items....

bearings, oil pump, and timing chain are good things to change while you are in the motor if you have it out.

Full exhaust is a good start...replace worn out suspension/steering items will help also....

haha, i just stuck with conventional delo 15-40 oil and wix filter. Also, turns out the tranny was full of gear oil! :O Royal purple MAX ATF and lucas auto tranny fluid additive, and now its smooth as silk and actually can hit redline in 4th gear

One intense ride, I tell you What.
