I don't think it's about what a 'cruiser deserves... Most peeps here would put the best oil in their rigs they can get... It's what might be best for a motor designed and built almost two generations ago, now. Additive packages have changed in modern oils to adapt to modern engines and current smog laws. I'm not an SAE oil engineer, but from what I've read, the additive package best suited to the 2F type of motor is now only found in oils that have the diesel certification; and some of these are synthetic.
I've run synthetics in everything I've owned - going back to the introduction of Arco Graphite, - including Air Compressors, Lawn Mowers, and weed whackers.
But in the cruiser I will run Rotella T (when it's running
).
That's just what I think is best, not necessarily the "Best" oil out there.
