Thanks for the replys guys, i used to run 20w-50 in my rb20 back in the day.. im debating on going back to that now on this 26, like you guys mentioned 5w-40 is probobly not the best choice.
I have done the screwdriver to the engine method. Nothing heard. Im in Seattle WA. Might as well be Anchorage though!!
got my massive part order in from Osaka!
