That's what i've always ran in my KDX. Great stuff, looks and feels like what oil should.

I use Golden Spectro synthetic/petroleum blend in my premix and Valvoline 10w-30 or 10w-40 conventional petroleum oil in the box. They're both pretty oily so they work good for me! The Golden Spectro is actually green so it matches my ride.
The Valvoline is golden.

Last time I changed the earl on my DR, Wallyworld was out of red cap so I tried their new dino oil called Clean 5000 or sumpthin
