I run 20w/50 mineral oil in my bike - a motorcycle specific brand called Spectro which you don't have in the UK.

Mine is a similar setup.
Wiseco 1200cc 8:1 turbo pistons.
Stock cams set at 110/114.
37mm exhaust valves
42mm HSR carb - 37.5 pilot, 230 main jet, 8DDY01-97 needle
Modified oil pump
MRE lockup clutch
welded crank, HD studs, etc.

The bike is currently running 8 degrees of retard (32 degrees full advance) - but I change this depending on the weather - I will run 12 degrees retard on a hot steamy day.

I only run around 7-8 psi of boost - none of the fuel around here is good enough for more boost without adding an octane booster.

I've owned the bike around 10 years now - not that it's been on the road each year, but it has enough miles on it now to be fairly comfortable with the setup.
73 Z1 (turbocharged), a 74 Z1A, and some h***a's and Suzuki's...

I got it from local hydraulics supplier as i noticed they sold Rock oil compressor oil so he ordered me a box of four ( 16 litre) as that was the smallest order they could get.

Cost £100 which works out much cheaper than the £40 per 4 litre i found previously.
