Just after seeing this other oil they run a test where they run a bearing dry and 1 with wot ever oil u take with u for a set amount of time with diff amounts of pressure through the test and after identical tests the silkolene had warn nearly half as much as a dry bearing but the same test on the oil I now use and the wry team are using that was reduced by half again

Personally I use millers 10w/60 ! A bit expensive but you can't beat quality also use millers one shot octane boost before every fill up,gives you an extra 3 octane numbers ,vpower is 99 octane so this boosts it up to 102 ,also improves emissions,cleans injectors and ups the bhp slightly {only about 6 quid a bottle}
