Ask oilman (Opie Oils) in the link below and he'll recommend the right oil you need

5w30 a bit thin , especially for a forged build.

Ideally a 10w40 if driven sensible , 10w50 if it gets a fair bit of fast road use. 10w60 for a track toy.

Millers Nanotech or CFS are recommended a lot along with Fuchs silkolene

Mostly this morning I will be changing my Millers Nanotech Second lot this year and it's been excellent value (from OPIE) and performance. Never used a drop after 4498kms in a week.
