Getting the Wheeling Fever
Anyone have any suggestions on what weight oil would be best to use in my 88 22re?

Factory specs from my '85 Owner's Manual below:

I like no lighter than 10W40, usually run 15W40 universal (gas or diesel) motor oil in mine.

Somehow, 10W-40 seems the most natural fit for a 22RE. I've been using a Group 3("fake" synthetic) 5W-40 just in case I go somewhere cold on a camping trip.

I tried M1 15W-50 once and it actually slowed the motor down, and the valve clicking got louder , so, back to the 5W-40.
