The no-debate OIL POLL
Help me out guys,
I don't want to rehash a bunch crap.
I just want your vote (with no explanations why).
I'm looking strictly for numbers, not reasons.
WHICH TYPE OF OIL DO YOU USE.

I use synth because its superior in lowering engine temp, and I can have extended drain intervals. Does this count as an explantion?

I use Olive Oil in the motor and Canola Oil in the trans. Ya gotta heat them at 225°F for 2 hours, then let cool, before you throw them in. They give the bike a nice cooking smell while going down the road.

I actually voted for two, HD dino because that is what I have in there now, and non-HD synthetic because I am switching to Mobil1 in the next couple weeks when I do the next service interval.
