Many didn't even change brand. Use the right oil or risk the consequences.

My dad always said oil is cheaper than engines.
I'm surprised no-one mentions Motul. I just did a search and discovered they're French so perhaps not common in the USA. If you are interested Motul makes a huge range of products for all sorts of engines

My brother races a variety of classic two strokes and has used the product for years without ever having an engine break.
On the oil change frequesncy my bike had its first at 500km and second at 1000km I have no idea what the oil was, other than very black and runny.
