My wife drives the 2K S as her daily driver. It now has 68K miles as well. I think many of the oils folks here on the forum recommend are probably OK. With over 40 years of motorcycling I choose to spend my money on Castrol Syntec 10W-40 for year round use. I am currently considering going to 10W-50 or 15W-50 for summer. Not sure if there is a discernible benefit yet.

I truly believe Mobil 1 is no longer the oil it used to be. I believe they stopped using Base 4 and 5 stocks and now only use Base 3. What a shame.
