IMHO - Straight 20/50 ordinary old style oil. ie not these flash modern oils.
None of these new fangled synth'd 5/40's they are a bit thin.
I use ordinary 20/50 oil in mine, and its running fine with decent pressure.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

yep 20/50 cheap stuff if youve just re built it and i always use a priming tool to get the oil all the way round before first start up as packing the
pump with vaseline doesnt always work first time

20/50 turbo diesel oil for me, stop that sludge thats common to them.
You want SJ or above.
