What Drake said, If your standard a 10/40 is fine, if your slightly modded spanking it on the road then 10/50 and if your tracking it or it gets quite hot and you beat it then 10/60
10/60s are not as thick and gloopy as they used to be. I run millers 10/60 Nanotech in mine - but it does get hot (118/120 degrees!) and see a few circuits here and there

What ever you put in should be fully synthetic, and there is no point in cheaping on oil, especially when it costs less than a tank of fuel.
