    I know the manual states 90W oil. I want to go synthetic and was thinking about AMSOIL 80W-90. Any other suggestions/recommendations/opinions?

    Yeah...Give search a try- At quick glance there were lots of threads there- including a basic maintenance thread and a few about upgrades and swaps...

    Good luck finding what you are looking for...
