I searched several ways and never did find a thread on what is the latest recommended engine oil, type 4 engine.

I did however find several heated threads about GL5 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Please let me know what oil I can get at a normal store and not special order.

Thanks

I still have a ton of Brad Penn Green/Racing oil that goes in all the aircooleds.
I used to be able to find it local but these days I buy it by the case from Amazon/wherever.

And it does not hurt that I have won a few cases at 914 events over the years.
