    I dont know about putting two stroke oil in a 4 stroke but I do know that AMSOIL dominator is great oil.
    You think asking what kind of oil to put in a buell starts a war, you should see guys argue about 2 stroke oil.
    Some other ones i like.
    Klotz R50
    Maxima castor 927

    You might not need a great oil for this application but I certainly wont be running marine oil, or homelite in my YZ250.

    its not the ideal 2-stroke oil but that was part of the test... Brazilians my not have access to specialized 2-stroke oil so I conducted the test with common synthetic **** just to see the effects. Seems to have worked fine... then later on I found out that there are a few Harley riders that do the same thing on a regular basis... protects the fuel pump and adds a bit of top-end lubrication. The effects are noticeable.. once the motor is up to temp, its a tad smoother. Under throttle it feels quite silky .

    konarider.. the oil was used as a fuel additive. Not a motor oil.

    a tiny trace of castor bean oil.......or blenzall........will burn the retinas right out of anybody tailing you. that in and amongst itself is worth the price of admission.

    I ran a half bottle of 2-cycle oil per tank of fuel in my RX7 for years. No engine issues until it turned 200 and blew coolant seals in 4 spots. Rebuilt and modified the oil injection system to use 2-stroke oil instead of crankcase oil. Ran like a top until I sold it (and bought my XB with the money).

    Hadn't thought to run 2-stroke oil in a 4-stroke piston engine.

    Yeah I was reading that 2-cycle was a monster in rotary, I wonder why? Increased lubrication or better seal between the rotor and the wall?

    try 3/4 of an ounce of that stuff in your XB and tell me what you think... Im being kinda impressed.
