    Castrol is ok for normal commuting and daily driving and is designed for new types of engines, but if your the type who likes to rev the rings off it use penrite hpr40,penrite is one of the best racing and rally oils available (I never use anything else). I think the king springs come in four sizes, Normal->fe2->low->super low.

    just don't use sensortrac if you live in the bush. they aren't any good with all the bumps.
