'''Q''': Are there preferred brands of oil for motorcycle use?

'''A''': Not really. The two most important rules when it comes to oil are: 1. Make sure there is enough in the engine. 2. Change it regularly. What you change it with or what specific change interval you use are secondary. Pick a quality, name-brand oil with the correct viscosity for your climate (5w-40 up to ~~20w~~-50 - see your owners manual). It can be for either autos or motos.

Keep in mind that nearly everyone who has run motorcycles for a long time uses [[When can I change to synthetic oil?|synthetic oil]], but you shouldn't use it until the engine is broken in. Until then, use a quality brand and change it more frequently than the manual calls for.
