Go to bobistheoilguy.com and start reading. Allow a bit of time....lots of info

That is where I went to get the info I needed. Currently running and will continue to use Mobil-1 0W-40 "European Formula".

A lot of peeps it seems also run Mobil-1 0W-30 with the "Green Cap", I believe it is high mileage or long life oil but either way, it is hard or almost impossible to find in Southern Ontario.

Thanks to everyone for their help, I learned lots about oil today!! The strange thing is that after putting in three quarts of oil, the dip stick( not threaded inn) indicated that it was still down half a quart!!! I drained it from the crank case, reservoir tank & from the oil filter screen hose...did not change the filter!
Thought it was only supposed to take 2.8 - 3.0 liters

If you're concerned about additives just buy some ZDDP oil additive and put it in your tank. Available on line from several locations.

If you need to add anything to your oil, you are buying the wrong oil.

Your opinion i guess. It all depends on what your motivations are really. Mobil 1 is readily available to me and inexpensive. It's a high quality synthetic. Yes, it's made for automotive use, therefore it's add pack may require help if used in high revving sled. "May" being the key word.
I know many many people running this in their sleds without adding anything to it and no issues since day one. I've spent a lot of time reading these forums and have yet to read a thread about ANY particular oil causing harm to our motors. Based on that, I doubt whether there is even such a thing as "the wring oil". Anyway, if there is concern, ZDDP is an option for peace of mind. That my opinion and I'm sticking to it. LOL
