I have use the Castrol Power1 20w-50 and the Amsoil 15w-60 and can report that both provide great shifting in my Victory XC. I also found the Rotella T6 sheared quickly. The Amsoil 15w-60 was the best and it quietened the Vic lifter noise, but some people believe that the 15w-60 was too heavy...

guns, tools, chainsaw

Crybaby and Battlefield Earth are my votes.

I used to get them at a restaurant in Euless TX called El Paraiso, which was owned by former Major League Baseball player Orlando Merced. This was the first place I had eaten them and the best by far. The rest of the food on the menu there was amazing as well. Unfortunately the place closed...

We have a had a few of them...and the only issue we ran into on the gen 2, '06 was a little oil burning starting at 130k miles. Fortunately for me a dose of kreen and then running maxlife slowed it enough that it was mostly un-noticeable between 5k mile oil changes. The 2013 has yet to see any...
