So confused about which oil to use

Everyone has there own opinion on that one. Can O Worms.

I use Amsoil. http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/wcf.aspx

The manual states to use either a straight 30 or 40 weight. Unless you use a multi weight of 20w-50 or 20w-40.

Tige recommends 5w-30

Local Tige dealer uses 25w-40 (I was tempted to call other dealers just to see but didn't want to add to the confusion)

I know of users that are using both 10w-30 and 10w-40

Others are using 15w-40

The reasoning that I have heard to use the multi weight is for starting / warm up lubrication, makes sense.

I think I have narrowed it down to a full synthetic. I looked at some oil tests, it showed Amsoil, Valvoline Syn, Castro Syntec as some of the top oils.

Yep, that is why it has been so confusing. I would have thought that Tige would have gone with the manual.

I guess one way to look at it is if your changing it every year it should not matter what you use. Just a thought.

So can someone explain the difference or benefit in the following:

5w-30
10w-30
10w-40

Looks like I scared everyone off with the oil question.
