Oil question was created by Andy_C

Just wondering what the concensus is on 2t Oil - old school mineral oil, semi synth, or full synth?

I have been using semi synth in the DT - just wondering what others use.

I ride it pretty hard, but not flat out everywhere, been told to avoid full synth unless you are thrasing it everywhere, and that semi synth gives some of the benefits of full synth, and is better than old school mineral oil.

What you are using is ideal. Fully synthetic race oils, will tend to clog the exhaust on a DT, as they have a higher burn temperature than semi syn.
