    You should at least be using XD50 in that motor.

    The XD-50 is a semi-synthetic oil with Carb X added to help keep carbon depostits down. You should still decarb once yearly or every 100 hours.

    If you can't get XD-50 (like in my neck of the woods) then quicksilver premium plus is a good choice as well.
