Re: [St] the dreaded oil question

["Young, Mike" <myoung@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I finally figured out how to get to the bike shop during the week, and I
bought 8 quarts of the 4T stuff. Yea it's expensive, but there is
exactly zero confusion about its suitability.

I get that.  But have heard so many say the "gold cap is the new red
cap", 
seeing these reports of frustration you mentioned, then finding this
silver 
capped version makes me ask if the gold capped "supersyn" is really what
we 
should be using, or not.  I'm leaning toward not.
