Use what ever weight the manufacture recommends for oil weight. Here at Bisimoto Engineering we use Torco oils. We have seen Hp gains over many other brands and we stand fully behind this product. If you are interested we do sell the Torco Line of Oils.

i would go with the 5w30 since your out in Minnesota. wouldnt go any higher than 10w30. if your not running in the higher rpm range all the time you wont need to go with a thicker viscosity. why would you want to use anything other than genuine honda transmission fluid? get the colder plugs man.

I'd use 10w-30.

And as for tranny fluid, I use mobli1 as well , the same oil that goes in my car, goes into my tranny.

I have a really good friend who's a ASE and honda certified tech.. they use mobil1 in their cars and tranny.. "honda" MTF is just to sell for 20 bucks a quart.. if you wanna use it.. off the self, they put motor oil in their trannies. At least thats what he told me.

i personally used synthetic motor oil in my tranny in the past. never had any problems, i also used mobil-1. and like someone mentioned before its cheaper than honda tranny fluid. i used 10w30 royal purple in my engine. the reason for using the 10w30 in my engine was mainly because my h22 would consume 5w30 oil like it was Gatorade. you dont have to use 10w30 but it will hold its viscosity value longer than 5w30 in harsh driving conditions. if you go too thick on your oil it wont circulate as fast as the lower winter number would in start up. so there's less protection if it gets cold enough when your engine is starting up. also the thicker oils will be more prone to sludge. as for your shift point i couldnt say man. it depends on how your engine is built/balanced/tuned. but high rev shifts will take their toll on your gears so you might want to invest in the tranny. or just buy an extra d-series tranny from the junkyard just incase.

oh and about the timing with the nitrous, you want to retard it not advance it. i think for every 50hp you want to retard your timing by 1-1.5 degrees.

A general rule of thumb is, for every 50 shot you retarded your timing by 2 degrees.

wtf 20$ a quart...

its $3-4 a quart at my local dealer...

i use pennzoil synchromesh for tranny and valvoline 10-30 for engine. valvoline is good enough for me since i change it every 2000miles. no need to waste extra money on mobilone

id say go with royal purple 5-30 or torco, torco is expensive but from the dyno charts its proven to make hp somehow, also go to honda and get there tranny fluid best stuff for the tranny.

The Bisimoto price on Torco SR-1 is only 50 cents more then Royal Purple. For the performance and protection given from Torco Oil, 50 cents isnt that big of a price to pay

$16 for a quart for something that is dd so not worth it. if you do your oil change 2000miles or so. any brand name regular oil is good enough...

Torco SR-1 is $8.49 per qt.

SR-5 is the top of the line race oil and would be overkill for any DD
